We would just like to inform our members that the rumours about Coppice Pond being netted by either the club or the council are complete nonsense. Neither partys have in the past - or have future plans to net Coppice Pond.
A 20lb Mirror taken from Coppice Recently
Certain members may have witness what they thought to be fish nets – when they were in fact, as I am lead to believe, a different kind of net intended for something else altogether.
The dissaperance of the lillys which has also been a rumour of the netting can possibly be attributed to the Canada Geese, which now seem to have left the pond. Hopefully they will grow back next year – providing the Geese don’t return .
Plans are in motion for some extensive planting of new vegitation shortly – especially round the margins as part of the on-going work.
If – however , members do witness what looks to be suspicious activity then please report this to a club official as soon as you can – as we are all aware of the fish theives out there.

knew this was a load of bull about being netted! and am glad its been cleared up! cos i was sick of hearing about it! i myself have had 15 carp this year and over 80 tench to.
its a grait place that just requires a bit of paitience and good swim choice, i would sugest sweetcorn or sweet falvoured boilles with somekind of feeder on! one of the best days i had up there was in erly march this year, fishing the swim next to the stone hut, were i had 10 tench in a morning session, on one feeder rod! sweetcorn all the way!! happy days. jodie.

Yeah , I have had some very good days up there earlier in the year (I mostly fish rivers in the open season) – on three or four occasions I have 25+ Tench in one sitting – and regularly over 10 – this was right upto July AFTER the rumour started. On Sunny days you can see dozens and dozens of carp cruising around in the shallows.
I think this rumour may have been started by someone who needs to go back to ‘fishing school’ – and we have a good idea who you are

Not to mention all the Carp that i see on a very regular basis launching themslves 2-3 foot out of the water – as if to say “can’t catch me son!”

Well Mr ‘Nudd’ – i think if you peruse the gallery – the pictures speak for themselves – unless of course – that flat cap is obscuring your view!
