With the shortest bund dividing Dewhurst Deeps from Jimmy’s Lake, it has the longest length of existing bank,
making it the most natural of the satellite pools. The first stocking
consisted of more than 4000 6” – 8” Carp in April 2004, and an 80lb plus
catch of fish featured in Angling Times in its first year. However it
suffered badly from the attention of cormorants over the winter of 2004-05.
in 2005 a further 3800 6”-8” Carp were added. Bailiff, Jimmy White, re-sited
his cabin to provide day-long protection over the winter of 2005-06 to ensure
a high survival.. These fish have now reached more than 3lb each with odd
ones up to 5lb and form the bulk of catches with up to 100 being landed in a
session, to give weights around the magic “ton”. Recently Rudd and Ide which
must have survived from the original British Waterways stocking have been
showing, promising winter sport.
Most sheltered of the Carp-bagging pools, Dewhurst Deeps has
vehicle access and car parking along the entire Western side. Two acres in
area, there are 37 pegs with some suitable for the ambulant disabled.
