Bridge Pond - Ravenfield Ponds - Coarse Fishing in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, UK

Bridge Pond

This pond has been redeveloped over the past few years. The committee identified a need for a pond which we could be opened to the match fishing public, and we now have a 27 peg pond stocked with lots of carp to 10lbs, crucians, roach, rudd, skimmers, tench and perch to a high stock density, which is producing lots of double figure bags.

Pond depths vary from 3 feet, where the stream runs in to 6 feet where it leaves. Two of the favourite methods are the pole, or if no-one is fishing the far bank a small feeder thrown across. While maggot and caster catch roach, rudd and perch, the carp favour pellets, sweetcorn or meat.

After the 2007 floods we had an additional population of larger exotic carp in this pond. We chose to have these removed and replaced with a stock of smaller carp. 250 of these were stocked in January 2008.
