Half Round Ponds
These 2 ponds cover a half-acre site some 300yds from the Fendrod Lake. They are situated behind Wyevale Garden Centre and have their own car-park that can be accessed opposite the Macro Cash & Carry store. The Half Round Ponds were originally cooling ponds for the old Mannesmann Steel works, the site of which is now occupied by the Matrix Park Office blocks. They are also known as the Management Ponds from their past association with the steel works. Now beautifully landscaped, you'd never guess their industrial past only finished some 25 yrs ago. The layout of the ponds is perfect for our junior coaching programme that stretches for 12 weeks through the summer months.
The water has produced carp to 20lb+, tench to 6lb together with perch, rudd, skimmer bream, brown goldfish and roach. All pegs are concreted of which there are currently about 35. Two of our Club Bailiffs Jeff & John are there most days should you need any more information. Mark, Dennis, the 2 Peters, Bernie and Tony make up the rest of the bailiffing team.
The security barrier is currently left unlocked. Any future plans to lock it will be notified to anglers.
We have a regular restocking of fish on this water.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ONLY 2 RODS CAN BE USED AT ANY ONE TIME ON THESE PONDS AND NIGHT FISHING IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO SEASON TICKET HOLDERS ONLY
DURING THE COACHING SEASON(JUNE TILL END OF AUGUST), THE CENTRE BANK OF THE PONDS IS CLOSED ON SATURDAY MORNINGS TO THOSE ANGLERS NOT INVOLVED IN BEING COACHED.
