luckylad75 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Morning. If you are new to carping I would go to Friezland pools at Market Bosworth or the lake on the edge of Sheepy Magna. Sheepy Magna - shallow and silty but cast to the far open bank as near to the margin as you dare where the field meets the waters edge - the carp patrol it, after casting ust ease you lead out of the clay, cast a few freebies out, sit back and wait. At night drop a bait gently in the margin, pop up boile or hair rigged cat food with few pellets over and wait for the run! Friezland was stacked with small carp who were always keen to test your buzzers unless its changed in the last year or so then thats worth a try. Theres always the fishery at Beeby, small carp pool always good for a run or two. if your just starting out you will always find the runs waters stacked out with folks especially in school holidays which i cant abide now and all the litter, noise and one or two idiots who fisheries need to clear off their waters.

Sid Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Hello everyone. I was a member at 3 lovely pools at Trout Pond Farm. The membership was cheap but this was reflected in the facilities.(There weren't any ).A good days sport could be had with a good cross section of fish ranging from very small gudgeon, roach ,skimmer, up to common and mirror carp up to 30lb.It has now been sold to a syndicate who have made some welcome improvements and the price has gone up 700%!!. Who runs the two pools now does anyone out there know. One pool is (made from joining two pools together)and this is apparently the syndicate lake.The other pool is to be day ticket. In my opinion the first lake,the day ticket one holds the bigger fish.A pal of mine ran out of hook to nylon 10lb and used eyed hook to 18lb line direct and was broken on both a mirror and a couple of commons during one session in September.It is rumoured that the new owner is going to take all of the bigger fish out of the first lake and put them in the syndicate pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Re last comment on Trout Pond Farm. These pools are in Sheepy Magna accessed between the new houses opposite the big house that looks like a large victorian house on the edge of the village.

yonny Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 They're little village ponds by the looks of it mate. Can you you not just ask someone down there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 I live in Bloxwich which is about 30 miles away and I didn't want to make a wasted journey, although I drive past The Riddings lakes to grt to the fishery at Trout Ponds Farm so I suppose that I could go thete on the way back.

welder Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Sid, are you referring to the pools which have a much larger one nearby, with an Italian restaurant at one corner of it? Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
