Cheers Andy, any more info on them, I'm sure I've read somewhere Middle pool is the one with the better carp in??

I'm sure that somewhere on here there will be a few post's about Trench. I have spent a few years of my life on the place and more than a few quid in the Blue Pig the boozer on the banks of it. A very hard water which is usually choked with weed low carp population and a huge population of tench. Its shallow and the birds do your head in. A large amount of the banks are formed of very large rocks which are extremely dangerous to fish off and many of us carry extensive scars from falling on them. Some nice fish though and in my eyes a far more challenging water than the middle over the road which to me is a dump although the fish do hit the 30lb mark.

Thanks jemsue5, have done a few searches on here and found the names of places, just finding out where they are is abit of a struggle for me. BTW where was the fish in ur pic caught?

[jemsue5]

It's a good 30 off Manor on the linear complex. Will stick a couple of the trench fish up in a bit.

Trench, a great water but can be a real head banger. Had more than my fair share of blank sessions on there, but well worth it tho.

 

 

Jez introduced me to Trench and the Blue Pig, he will be hearing from my solicitor

Dont blame me you're over 18 (a long way over 18)

Nice pictures/fish, looks to be some decent lumps in there, 3rd one down looks a cracker. Is it pay on the bank? Also is night fishing allowed?

[jemsue5]

That fish is the same one as the first pic. Yes pay on the bank but it's only £23 a year for the year book and the middle is on the same ticket, night fishing is allowed on both waters.

What weights was the fish when you caught it??

 

Got any contact details on where to get a ticket from?? Any recent catch reports?

[jemsue5]

All those fish are around the 22/23 mark from memory. Thay were caught about 3 years ago and the fish were putting on about 1.5lb a year. I have heard of some 25/26lb fish this year but let me warn you that if the weed is up and it looked bad back in Feb then you will struggle to fish the water. Try 01952 503550 (rod and Gun) for ticket info.

Cheers for the info, I'll probably go and have a walk round the lake tomorrow. Any carp waters in the area been fishing well this year??

[jemsue5]

Not to sure i'm mostly into barbel now. Are you local to Telford?

[mtn]

5 Mins away from Telford really, just outside Newport.

[jemsue5]

Not much decent carp fishing in this area unless you manage to get on one of the few decent syndi's in the area. Trench, Middle, Wide waters and Blue pool on the telford ticket are good 20s waters. A few of the other telford waters such as Apley, dandy are good runs waters. dawley AA have a couple of waters at hinkshay/stirchley that have a few fish in them and the Withy pool in telford park is day ticket with plenty of doubles in it. Day ticket waters inc Bayliss which is off junc 4 of the M54 lots of fish but also lots of anglers.

Yer been searchign for some decent waters, very few that interest me. Have you got any info on the syndicates?/ Know the waiting list times of any??

 

Also any tips for Trench pool??

[jemsue5]

Rosehill on the A41 up towards Market Drayton is syndi go have a chat with the Guy who lives in the Mill house next door. You have field aston just out of newport basically an old irrigation Res, Stoogi on here and give you some info on it. Other than that you are looking at Rob Hales waters which are all exclusive and exspensive have a look at his website Rob Hales fisheries. As for tips for Trench Time and lots of it

Did the camera man turn to stone after taking that shot?

 

 

As for Field Aston, although it now has a few 30s in, i wouldn't bother. It's a bleak, barren, hole in the ground. The fish were easy to catch, but i woke up every morning wishing i were somewhere else.
