Information
One of Arden Lakes six lakes, Oak Pool was restocked in 2018 and now offers good mixed fishing for carp between 1lbs and 3lbs plus good roach and bream to 3lbs. There are 22 decking platforms evenly spaced around the lake and all could be used in a club match. There is a large central island which offers most pegs the opportunity to fish a feeder against the far bank and good margin fishing for carp between each peg. The deeper water fishes well for silverfish and carp which as the water warms in the summer can be caught nearer the surface on a pellet waggler or short pole rig. Average depths are 5-6 feet in front of the island and 4 feet behind the island.
Best baits are pellets, corn and small cubes of meat with small balls of groundbait helping to hold the fish in your swim.
