hello,
i havnt been on brierley park for some years now untill tonight as me and a mate went for a run round there.I was shocked to see the pond looking how it does now.The last time i was down there it looked un loved,just built and left.It looks just how a proper fishing pond should look.im thinking of heading down there very soon.What sort of size are the carp and tench in there?big bonus is i live a 5min walk from the pond.
many tanks

Some nice doubles in there mate and a lot of big Tench over 5lbs stuffed with silvers Pike over 25lbs

Looks like they have done an amazing job with sorting the pond out.has it been stocked for fishing or are the fish what was already in there?should be trying it out in the next couple of week when i get a sat off work.
Cheers
p.s is the 50 and over rule still in place for pike fishing?

The over fifty rule was just a bit of fun mate a full list of rules can be found on the new notice board at the pond

Hi Rich, Brierley pond had transformed a lot in the last year or so and i we are very lucky to have something like that on our doorsteps, hope to see you down there soon doing some fishing.

Hi Rich welcome to forum mate and i look foward to meeting you down pond sometime im up there
Im also looking foward to seeing some reports of your catches on here

Just a quick question about membership and day tickets.how many members are there at present?can you buy day tickets well in advance?reason i ask is there doesnt seem to be alot of pegs amd was wondering how they knew how many members would be fishing on a particular day to know how many day tickets you can give out. Many thanks

Day tickets are limited to 10 tickets per day they are only sold at Poppies pets if there is a match no tickets will be sold for that day you can get tickets well in advance but you must show your rod licence when you buy your ticket hope that explains it

Ok cheers.but if i was to get a membership and there i 10 day tickets how do they know it wont be double book?
Cheers

never happend yet mate and cant see it happening

if more members join we would ajust the amount of day tickets

Ok pal cheers.will see how it goes.wouldnt mind gettin a membership as i could just go down and do a bit of pikeing without taking aload of tackle so easy to walk from my house.

went down tonight to have a proper good look around,an amazing job has been done with the pond.it says fishing only from designated pegs,does this mean pegs with platforms or all the pegs that have been cut out.

pegs cut out as well as platforms i believe there are 17 or 18 in total

ok cheers.didnt want to sit in a spot that you cant use.
cheers

also are keepnets allowed obviously no carp in keepnets.

no problem glad to help

Yes, keepnets are allowed, but we ask that any carp over 6-7lb are returned back to the water after capture and not kept in keepnets. We have 18 fishable swims now, but only 8 platforms in at the moment, so any spot that is clearly marked out is available for fishing.

Good luck.
