Pondwood Fisheries is the premier fishing facility for anglers of all categories. We have more than 15 years' experience in dealing with the likes and dislikes of fishermen, and whatever type of inland fisherman you are, Pondwood Fisheries can satisfy your demands.

We have three waters, one of which dates back to medieval times and one which is in excess of 30 years old. In addition there is the Snake, a still water course dating back to medieval times. This was opened for day tickets in 2002 after widening and extension.

The original one metre wide brook held fish into double figure weights. Since its widening and extension, the brook (now called The Snake River) has been stocked with thousands of fish, all home-grown at the Pondwood complex. These include carp, roach, chub, perch, rudd and tench.

The original Pondwood Carp Lakes are around an acre each. The older lake has an island in the middle accessible via a bridge. This lake has stocks of carp, tench, roach, chub and catfish. The carp were introduced around 25 years ago and are an Italian strain. They have been known to spawn 3 times per year. All the other fish are of unknown origin.

Catfish Details

The second lake has only carp, again introduced around 25 years ago. For some strange reason, no other fish species have yet been found in this lake. The carp, however, are some of the most amazing fish you will have seen.

There are toilet facilities and ample car parking available on the complex.

Bookings for matches and competitions are a must.
