Woods farm fishery, Shirley. With the fishing school based here, what better place to start. Main pool. On the right hand side as you enter the fishery, we have a 32 peg match lake, which holds 2 islands, the first one can be reached with between 13 and 16 metre poles. The second at the far end of the lake is between 7 and 13 metres. This is a mixed fishery, with a good head of roach, crucian carp, tench and larger carp. You never know what you are going to catch next. Tactics for this lake vary from day to day the Thursday evening matches on this pool can be won with a netful of roach and crucians or cat food caught larger carp, normally in access of 45lbs. Best baits! Sweet corn, louncheon meat, cat food, maggot, caster and if if its warm floating bread. Pine pool. This being a smaller pool with a good head of small fish, again crusians and roach feature here. This is why most of the angling school activities are held on this pool. Very rarely do we hold any matches on this pool. But if we did, i would imagine that it would be won with inexcess of 30lbs of maggot caught fish. Bridge pool. This being the smallest lake on the fishery and spring fed. you can fish on this pool at anytime, due to the clarity of this pool it needs to be fished with very light lines and small hooks. Their is a very good head of fish but very rarely do we see anybody fishing on here. It does hold some monster carp and a good head of smaller fish. Do not be fooled by this little pool it runs to 12 foot deep in parts Best baits on this pool are liquidized bread and bread punch fished on the hook. Maggots Casters and sweetcorn also catch well. Flight match pool. This pool is only booked for matches or private sessions, due to being harder to reach. Last year the flight pool was  re-vamped with new permanant pegs and an extention to hold 35 pegs and a re-stocking plan. This still holds a good head of the old stock with carp running to double figures. With the new mixed fish from 1oz to about 2lbs. The first match we held saw 2 weights over 50lbs. Best baits. Large carp, cat food, sweet corn and louncheon meat, all other species maggot, caster, and at times bread. Their is a fishery ban on all ground baits, pellets and boilies.
