Antichrist Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I took my son up to have a go for the pike in frechville pond yesterday using plugs and spinners, no luck !! I did however see a half dead tench (now despatched) that weighed about 3lbs. An elderly chap told me that the environment dept had been up and taken fish out of the pond, he thought that they were going to clean the pond out again and then re introduce the fish.. It could make a really good fishing venue if the locals did a bit of policing when the kids start throwing rubbish in.. Will update this post when i do a bit of digging around tomorrow to find out whats happening with the pond.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janet burton Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I remember back in 1972 my relatives living at Frecheville and me and my cousins used to go to a large pond at the back of a community centre and sit and talk to the men fishing there. Is it still there do you know? Thanks. Yes the pond is still there and peoplestill fish there but you cant let the kids go cos idiots throw there rods in and run off .lucky if thats all they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultana Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I believe the work is replacing the paths & steps, not sure about the bagging round the edge of the pond though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortice Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 fished there for 15 years on and off.. always caught loads of fish even though its really shallow.. the tench can go up to at least 6 pounds and the carp up to 20+.. they used to be bigger but the biggest ones were taken out many years ago.. i find that the non brand fish pellets from billy clarks work best for the tench.. it is a funny place to fish at times.. early morning is easily the best time to try but once it gets to noon you may as well not bother.
