Many years ago (OK, about 20) I knew the owner of the fishing rights on this pool. He allowed a local angling club (with the agreement of the Severn Trent Water Authority's scientist) to remove some small common carp from here, and relocate them into a stretch of the old canal at Newport. Within a couple of years, they'd grown into 8-10lb fish, and were breaking the tackle of just about anyone fishing for them. It seemed a good idea at the time!
