The Carp pond is much the same as the horseshoe, patient and persistant anglers are picking up decent fish, again the best baits are meat and pellet

 

The Willow pond as ever is fishing superbly well. Even when the other ponds don't fish so well this popular pond does. 100lb+ bags are regular. Use pellet for best results
