A four acre former quarry famed for its large heads of specimen crucian carp and schlei (more commonly known as golden tench), Whitley Pool is amongst the clubs finer fisheries. The pool also contains large heads of uncoloured goldfish, roach, rudd, bream, tench and carp; most of which average low to mid doubles. What at first appears to be a big hole will soon reveal itself and a few hours spent feature finding will reap rewards!
The place holds an eerie feel to it with a Quaker burial ground being onsite you feel you are not always alone, especially on those cold, long, winter nights! But don’t let this put you off as fishing can be very prolific at times. Away from the mirrors, commons, ghosts and koi, the water holds a lot of good sized Tench and crucians/brown goldfish.
You never know the resident terrapin may even pay you a visit and is an avid fan of the bollie.
There is also, as with many of the Lymm waters, the chance of a Catfish, which come out at over 20lb, uncaught monster cats are the discussions of many a angler as they stick it out after dark in anticipation on the warm summer nights. But as yet no loch ness monster has been confirmed. The car park end of the pool is the shallower part of the pool with depths of around 6-8ft and from there it slopes all the way down to the other end of the pool where depths of over 25ft have been found.
Over the deep water the carp are always up for floaters in the summer, but getting them to take you hook bait is slightly trickier and can sometimes drive you insane. If the fish can be seen cruising on the top then get the dog biscuits out and enjoy the sport. Never overlook the margins on here as they are as deep as most waters at range, and bait wise small baits such as sweetcorn and pellets are always coming up with the goods.
Fishing on this water is controlled by Lymm Angling Club. For more information on this and other waters available, along with rules and details of membership, please visit the Lymm Angling Club website at: http://lymmanglersclub.com
