Bath pool

I recently visited Bath pool, my first visit to the pool.
Only the two sides are accessable from the road which gives plenty of room to fish.
I chose one of the landing stages on the right hand side (2nd one) looking from the road, at 11m there was a good depth of around 8 ft, and after a slow start, by slowly introducing some bait & fishing sweetcorn at full depth produced about 12 small carp (Commons) to 2lb and a few crucians, small tench, skimmers & roach.
Loads of leaves on the surface did hamper progress somewhat, but I ended up with 20lb of v healthy fish that gave a good account of themselves on light elastic and rigs.
Some larger fish did show themselves on the furthest side from the road, so I would like to try there next time.
Really enjoyed the day, just a shame the photos aren't too good.
Thanks Tony Woodward

Bath Pool....this was my first visit to a bmac water as I've only been a member for 3 weeks. I decided to take a trip to Bath Pool in Lymm.When I got there  I thought to myself this is a brilliant little pool. After plumbing my depth near the lilles I fished double corn on a 14 hook, feeding little and often with pellets and corn. I was getting bites, in the first 1/2 hour I had 2 brilliant Roach, about 1 pound, in brilliant condition.Then I realised I wasn't geting bites so I switched over to maggots (tripple red) on a 14 hook. I had 2 hen Tench in brilliant condition about 4 pound, and also a couple of bream, about 2 pound.Then I realised again that I wasn't getting bites when suddenly my float went strait under. I was into it for about 7 mins. It was a  common carp, in brilliant condition, about 5 pound which thought double its size. So that was my day. I really enjoyed it and i want to say that  it is really well looked after and is a very clean environment.  hope I go there again.  Tom G.
