Described as: Hamstall's Jewel in the Crown, Pool Two is predominantly a bream and tench water with the tench running to 12lbs and the bream to 7lbs.

There are a small number of perch to 2lbs 8oz and again plenty of quality roach and rudd.

Summer pleasure catches of 40 to 50 fish between 8oz and 7lbs to 8lbs are fairly common.

Even in winter the water fishes well with one angler bagging over 30 bream between 2lb 8oz and 3lb as early as March.

Hamstall member Mick Povey from Walsall set a new fishery record for tench when he caught a specimen which weighed in at just over 12lbs.

Fishing on the dam between Pool Two and Pool Four, Mick fished double red maggot on an open-ended feeder.

Despite the size of the fish, double red maggot is a favoured bait whilst caster and worm cocktail and sweetcorn and bread are all extremely effective.

Pool Two is popular with pole anglers and unlike the other Hamstall waters is one where good catches can be taken from the middle as well as the margins, although the majority of the tench tend to be taken close in to the edges particularly early mornings and during the evenings.
