Ashley
pool
May 10th 2008
This
was my second time at Ashley Pool and as you can see it provided me
with my first and only ever caught (up to now) 9 lb Mirror Carp. Caught
using a pineappe pop-up boilie on a hair rig. This was my first time
using this method and was really pleased to get a result otherwise i
could of seen myself reverting to float fishing only. Now i can enjoy
either

Dave Ward fished Ashley pool on
Friday evening
21st July. Fishing the peg in the centre of the pool at a rod length
out with a small bed of ground bait and double red maggot on the hook.
Dave caught plenty of Rudd up to 10oz and Perch up to 6oz
with
plenty of bits in between. He also had three bream the largest being
over 2lb. He said that he saw bigger fish in the margins and
tried to fish for them but they didn't seem to be interested in
feeding. Having heard reports that this water had been attacked by
cormorants and the fish had all been eaten he was pleasantly surprised
to find that this was not the case.
(Ashley has
suffered badly from
Cormorant
predation in recent times. Not so long ago it would give you Crucian
after Crucian as fast as you could fish them. There was also a big old
Perch apart from those stocked by the club. Plenty of fancy fish,
perhaps dumped there and reasonable Tench stocked by the club. I am
very glad, however, if Ashley is coming back. Website)
