Hello Has anyone fished at Loam Pond this season , or know any factual information about the pond . Thanks .

Hi Sam If you do join the syndicate for Loam Pond all the best for this season , and I hope you enjoy yourself . There is a lot of wildlife around if you are interested - owls , foxes , kingfishers etc . I probably will not rejoin after the disappointment of this season unless I physically see the disappearing mirrors - perhaps I will get down there when the carp are spawning . Oh , almost forgot to tell you , night fishing seems to be the most productive time . Failing that early morning , or late evening , days are a waste of time unless you want to try and stalk the Commons .

Hello Sam Officially there are 80-100 carp in Loam Pond with the biggest being a 29lb 10 oz mirror , loads of silver fish , 2-3 big bream , no tench , and big perch 2-3 lbs+ It's very quiet ( unless the diesel pump is pumping out water for irrigation ! ) , it's common to be the only angler on there , but it's very weedy and the weed type seems to change from season to season . The cost is £100 per season April til March . This season has been a real struggle , apart from a group of about 15-20 Commons the other Carp seem to have disappeared , or have suddenly become very cute . Have you considered Melton ? . Breakaway Tackle told me today that an offer to buy the complex has been accepted and the deal could be completed in 2 weeks . Apparently there is a plan to make it into 1 big lake , and fence it all in .

Hi Sam The chap who runs the syndicate is called Dale Wilby . You can contact him on 07806 729796 . I wouldn't call him too late at night as he gets up for work very early .
