The new Silver Fish Pool at Alcott Farm is a banana shaped canal style water with a central island nine metres out running down its spine which makes it ideal for either pole or waggler fishing.

Built with sides which drop straight down to an average depth of five feet,Silver Pool has four deeper holes where the bottom drops to about eight feet - two at each end and two off the bank between Silver Pool and Large Pool.

These provide ideal holding points for the fish in winter but make plumbing the depth essential for those anglers who want to target these deeper points.

To provide year round angling, the water has been stocked with roach between four and 10 inches long and tench to 1lb and these are already providing great sport, particularly to anglers who fish maggot or sweetcorn on the bottom.

This means Silver Pool is a great venue for seasoned, novice and junior anglers alike.

Whilst Silver Pool has three purpose-built pegs, anglers are again allowed to fish wherever they want from the grass banks which surround the water.
