Great Pond
This is the largest of the ponds and is used for the club matches held on the venue. The pegs run from numbers 21 to 57. The stock in this pond is similar to that in the other silver fish waters, and on any particular day several species and methods can win the matches, but best of all is that there are so many pegs that can win, and the backing weights are usually within a pound or two of the winner. The match results are recorded elsewhere in this web for you to view.
The photograph above shows the view looking down the Great Pond towards the dam wall. As you can see, there are a whole series of fish refuges along the spine of this pond, and some matches are won fishing the feeder close to them, but others are won on the pole, usually with caster or pellet.
The shallowest water can be found at the smallest and highest peg numbers, 21and 57 which is opposite, and is about 6 feet deep. At the dam wall, mid 30 peg numbers, the depth is nearer to 10 foot.
Pleasure anglers regularly make 40 to 50 pounds catches.
