Re: Retreat Afternoon All, I've fished Pool 2 and caught both times in the last few weeks on pole fished 4mm expanders and it appears to be livening up with the warmer weather. Weed is also a problem but if you can find a clear area there is some good sport to be had. I've not witnessed a single person catch on Pool 1. Was informed all the fish were lost due to the flooding so if that's the case it will be interesting if matches throw up any catches of significance Not a single fish spotted cruising last week whilst the sun was blazing Chris S Posted on June 06, 2021 at 1:00 PM
Re: Tench pools Fished No2 pool at Retreat for a few hours this afternoon. Found a clear area 14.5 metres out on the track side and fed crumb. Small crucians and Rudd to 8oz on punched bread and meat. Bites few and far between but water is very cold. Spoke to a few on No 1 and not a bite Posted on April 16, 2021 at 5:22 PM
Re: Retreat Farm I've fished Pool 1 3 times in the last few weeks. Strong line required as they are ruthless fighting Mirrors averaging 10 to 12lb but I've had them to 14lb. Margins or near the island and all pegs all fish well. Small baits best with punched meat and bread but don't expect to catch 20 to 30 fish like when it was first stocked. Best day was last Wednesday with 9 fish netted. Pool 2 rammed with small Rudd and tench but there are some monster carp being caught, one witnessed at over 16lb. Again 4mm expanders, corn and pellet over pellet feed for a fish a chuck on the pole Chris Posted on August 27, 2020 at 5:36 PM

Afternoon All,

I've fished Pool 2 and caught both times in the last few weeks on pole fished 4mm expanders and it appears to be livening up with the warmer weather. Weed is also a problem but if you can find a clear area there is some good sport to be had.

I've not witnessed a single person catch on Pool 1. Was informed all the fish were lost due to the flooding so if that's the case it will be interesting if matches throw up any catches of significance
