The Wide Waters has recently undergone some updating with the installation of some eco-friendly, and disabled friendly pegs.

Baits And Methods On The Wide Waters?
Whether you're a course anger, or you favour carp fishing tactics, you have the chance of a great days angling on the Wide Waters.
If you are targeting Roach, Perch, Crucian Carp, Bream and Rudd you cant beat the usual course fishing methods such as Waggler (float), Pole, Feeder and Bomb tactics. Maggots, Casters, Hemp, a good quality groundbait, pellets, sweetcorn and small bandable boilies and wafters will help you pick out the Carp on "The Wide".
If you are targeting the carp, with carp fishing tactics, many of the best fish are caught using PVA bags with pellet, particle feed with boilies, wafters and pop-ups on the hook.
Spodding is allowed on the pool however, in the hotter months, Oxygen levels may drop and this may be restricted in such an event.
