Caldwell Pool

In the tiny village of Caldwell (Cauldwell on some maps) the pool is down the track at the end of Church Lane (key needed). This pool is very old and as a result holds a large head of hard fighting Wild Carp to 10lbs. Barbless hooks must be used at all times! The pool also holds Roach, Bream, Perch and Tench.

Standing ‘at entrance gate’ to the right is the dam wall and in the near right hand corner depth is 12’ rising to 2’ at the far end and 3’ in left-hand corner. Responds to all methods from waggler /maggot to a hair rigged boilie. Too much pressure / noise from anglers will put the Wildies down! As a result better if fished with few anglers on the bank. Contrary to popular belief heavy feeding is not the best way to catch, as baits will soon be ‘blown’.
