The bridge pond is our new 30 peg pleasure fishing pond. It’s shaped attractively in a figure of 8 formation with 2 separate islands. The pond has a 3’ shelf around the pond as a feature. And has a maximum depth of about 5’. It has lots of bank space and all 30 pegs are linked by a gravel path. We partly stocked this pond in December 06' with over 2500 10” – 5lb skimmers and bream with the remainder of the fish being stocked in Mid – January. The majority of the fish stocked being over 4000 Green/Golden Tench and 4000 Ghost/Crucian/Mirror Carp. In addition to this we also introduced a good head of Chub, Barbel and Roach. As we have with the match pond we have also introduced F1 Carp frequently throughout the past 2 summers.
Top Tips!!
The stock of fish in this pond although abundant with Carp is not of a Big size so using floating baits to tempt them is not recommended. Instead use a 'little & often' approach to feed pellet with corn or hooker pellet for best results. Alternatively use a maggot feeder to chuck to the island, or a groundbait mix with castor!!
