Fingal Fishpond is perhaps the most popular water at
borwickfishing. The first water to be separated from the main lake in 2003,
it is the longest established of the new waters. Many fish from the main
lake, Roach, Perch, Carp, Pike, etc, were trapped and during construction of
the bund. A large black and white Koi and a Red Eared Terrapin were among its
first residents!! The first stocking consisted of around 100 Carp between 5lb
and 14lb introduced in March 2004. More than 4000 6” – 8” Carp followed in April
2004. Bailiff, Jimmy White, provided day-long protection from the attention
of cormorants over the winters of 2004-05 and 2005-06 to ensure a high
survival. These fish have now reached more than 3lb-4lb each with odd ones up
to 6lb and form the bulk of catches with dozens being landed in a session, to
give weights approaching 100lb. Nearest Carp-bagging pool to the entrance and toilet block,
Fingal Fishpond has car parking at both the North and South ends. Two acres
in area, there are 40 pegs with some suitable for the ambulant disabled. |
