Pond 1

Pond 1 is the place to be at the moment. This is because of the extraordinary amounts of fish being pulled out. Fingals pond at Borwick Fisheries has is mainly stocked with carp, skimmers and ide. There are also Rudd, Roach etc.

You can catch the carp in a number of ways such as method feeding, float fishing with the rod and pole fishing. At Borwick Fisheries, I think that the best method is with the pole. You can hammer them. They won't be many over 5-6lbs this way but the magic 'tonne' is achievable.

When fishing different ways such as method feeder or open cage feeder then the bigger fish are on. If you get your tactics right then you could be landing a carp 8-10lbs big. When doing this ensure you cast just in front of the weed so that when you get a fish you don't drag it through and get tangled.

Here's a top tip for match fishing on this lake. If you want to catch silver fish or it's maggot only then fish for the ide. They are reaching the 1-2lbs mark and the pond is well stocked with them. In a 5 hour match fishing just off the surface you could land 70lbs of the sliver fish and if your lucky then the odd carp might take your bait.

Now that you know the secrets of Fingals pond at Borwick Fisheries you can go and have a great day pleasure fishing or match fishing.
