Hi all,
Just wondered how retreat pools are fishing, in particular pool 2 for Tench and crucians?
Hoping to pop down for a session in next two weeks.

Re: Retreat farm pools open!
Hi, I have fished there twice since the re opening 2 weeks ago. Fished pool 1 Tuesday, caught an abundance of Carp, more than 12 months ago. Tried pool 2 yesterday (Saturday 13th). There were already 3 fishing when I arrived early afternoon. None of us had a nibble !! Went to pool 1 again to catch something. The fish have grown during the last 12 months, the biggest I had previously, from pool 2, was 6 1/4lb. Weighed 2 Tuesday at 7 1/2lb & 7lb. Someone fishing opposite me weighed one at the same yesterday. At the moment pool 1 is close to a bite every cast. Will try 2 again after a spell of warm weather.

Re: Retreat farm pools open!
Fished pool 2 yesterday weds 23rd with one other angler, neither of us had a bite. Went on to pool 1 and the topic was "how did you get on on 2 ? " The word is no one has heard of anyone getting a touch on there although plenty seem to try. pool 1 fished well especially as close in to the side reeds as possible. The carp are spawning vigorously so they might be distracted somewhat for a week or two, saw plenty of waterfowl scared by all the activity and got splashed as they crashed through my swim, ideal rural setting.

Re: Retreat farm pools open!
Same here, spoke to half a dozen others, tried it twice now, not a bite reported, always finish up on 1 to catch something.
