Jack's Pool is the main pleasure angling pool of the venue. An easy water to fish for all abilities and fishing styles.
Species of fish include, Common, Mirror and Ghost Carp. A large proportion of the Carp are between 4lbs and 8lbs with a good number pushing low doubles.

There are also large quantities of F1 Carp (hybrids) and Crucians. Other species regularly fished for and easily caught are Tench, Bream, Roach, Rudd, Chubb and Perch.

The driveway around the pool makes fishing easy as you can park right behind your peg so no need to carry your fishing tackle too far, unless you want to fish from the 'point', which means you have to leave your car in the car park, where you will find the cafe, toilet block and rubbish bins.

Disabled anglers will also find some of the pegs suitable for wheelchairs, especially along the left hand bank as viewed from the cafe.

Because of the wide range of fish species in the pool, almost all baits work, making presentation the key to a successful days fishing.

As you would expect from this type of venue, the usual, Maggots, Caster, Worms, Sweet Corn (including coloured and flavoured) and Luncheon Meat all work extremely well but fish have been regularly caught on Pepperami, Prawns, Mussels and Bread Flake. Everyone that fishes this pool has their own favourite.

Water depth is between 5 and 7 feet, making it ideal for float fishing and as the rules permit two rods per angler, many fish with a float rod and a ledger set-up of some type. For further information on fishing techniques see the drop down menu on the Jack’s Page tab at the top.
