Smithpool Lake
Smithpool
is another water run in co-operation with C.W.A.M.G (The City Waters
Advisory Management Group) and until recently was largely ignored by
the angling public. It is close enough to the town centre to catch a
bus to and holds a good quantity of carp, again many of which are of
specimen size. Carp are not the only fish in this pool however and the
light tackle pleasure angler can often have a good day's sport with
the lighter stock of which the water abounds. This water is shared on
some days with a model boating club and through mutual co-operation
the two societies have both been able to use the amenity without hindrance
to each other.
