Angling at Wyndham’s Pool & Hospital Pond
Wyndham’s Pool holds some large carp, and is also populated with other coarse fish such as perch, roach, tench and pike. The track to Wyndham’s Pool and Hospital Pond is just off Cricket Hill Lane, a few hundred metres up the hill from the Cricketers Pub.
The hospital pond on the right as you enter the site holds a large head of small fish and is always good for a bite and is a good place to take a youngster but look out there are a few bigger carp to pull your string to
The history of the ponds are as interesting as the fishing probably created to breed fish for the table drained in WWII so it could not be used as a sighting aid for German bombers wanting to bomb Blackbush aerodrome and restored by a local policeman and later stocked with a few of the original Leney carp https://storify.com/
