College Pool - 05.06.12

As a member of Leamington Anglers Association if you have never fished College Pool, you must. In the warmer months there is no better place to enjoy the English countryside, the variety of birds and wildlife you see in such a small pool and it's surroundings is fantastic.

I fished the usual float rod with red maggot and a sleeper rod with corn topped halibut pellet. On the float rod i caught countless pesky small perch and some small roach, I wonder where all the smaller Crucian and Rudd have gone ? as I've certainly noticed a decline in their numbers. I usually fish the far end of the pool though, maybe a try in the shallow end will bring better results. I did manage a small carp and last knockings a 8lb Mirror on the sleeper rod.
