Last I heard it had been sold and there was no information with regard to re opening. It’s owned by the people next door.

Haven't visited since my last report a year ago so I jumped in the car a few weeks back to check out whether the place had re-opened for fishing. The rope was still stretched across the car park entrance so assume its still closed though couldn't see any sign so assume it is. Does anyone know?

I emailed the owner a month ago to enquire the pond was open for fishing. I didn't get a reply so I went along yesterday evening and a role was stretched across the entrance so I assume it's closed

This hidden little pond is local to where I live and can be quite hard to find. Once there it's very peaceful and relaxing with a beautiful back drop of mature trees. It has a small unmade up car park. The banks are all grass - no paved footpaths - and some are quite steep too. The pond is well stocked with various species of carp including an ornamental variety plus some tench, bream, and the usual roach, rudd and hybrids. Floating bread is especially successful, though the larger carp (largest I've had in 7 years from there was just under 10 pounds) are pretty wise and canny when surface feeding! I love it for the solitude though it is getting more and more popular and it's easy to see that many of the fish have been caught several times! Certainly makes a welcome change for the commercial fisheries which I'm more then glad to leave to the holidaymakers!

surely thats a barbel
