Heron & Kingfisher Pools
Fishing at Heron and Kingfisher Pools
Coarse fishing
Heron Pool
Heron is another mixed fishery ideal for the pole or waggler, containing plenty of small roach as well as a few larger specimens.
In addition to the roach and skimmers, Heron Pool holds crucian carp, bream and tench to 4lbs and has a fairly uniform bottom and steep banks, much of the water being about 5ft deep. The two lily pad swims often prove successful, particularly during warmer weather.
Kingfisher Pool
Kingfisher is a beautiful 1.6-acre lily covered pool, perfect for tench fishing in the summer. It has a very uneven bottom due to the method of gravel extraction used.
Depths vary from around eight feet to around two-and-a-half feet and, because of the nature of the bottom, moving your float a yard or so in any direction can change the depth dramatically. This makes plumbing the depth essential on this pool.
With tench to 7lbs, a few crucian carp, and roach, perch and skimmers, Kingfisher is as nice a place as any to spend a pleasant summer’s day, with mornings or evenings an ideal time for catching tench.
