Shame to what could clearly be a lovely place to fish left in such a state. Although happened here in Darlington with Brinkburn pond. Good local pond like this would be and should be family friendly days out for parents and kids, just a nice little place to take your little ones and teach them how to catch a few little ones without the worry of full time carp nuts bivvied up every 5 yards. But sadly we let these places rot as we're doing to so many towns and local areas. Every where you look these days somethings neglected or in disrepair. Anyways nice to see you out n about again tom.
Neglected ponds are were tench always thrive , loads of weeds means predation cover . Mabe crusians to .. Id definitely go back crack of dawn when its still to see if they are around
Was a really good pond back in the day, had some big Carp in it, plus Tench Bream and Pike. Could be great again but needs a lot of work. It was previously a Stokesley AC Water
Such a shame that what looks like a really nice fishery has been neglected. Some 50 years ago I remembered hearing rumours of big pike being caught there . If Thirsk ac offer day tickets for that ve venue I'd give it a try .
Last fished (officially) in 2018 - so it's only six years of neglect - was down there last month, strimmed all around the place and cut back lots of overhanging buahes.
Thanks for your hard work. I hope you saved a bit as it is a monumental task to renovate the place. I had three hours fishing yesterday - nothing and not a ripple. .
Used to fish it 30 years ago, was full of fish and my mate had a 16lb pike out. Its always suffered with weed and at times blue/green algae. also parking not ideal.
Stokesley AC folded and then the water was leased for a short time by a syndicate. Eventually predation took its toll and the water has been left alone for many years .

Had some big carp out there in the past..
Looks like it could be a lovely lake with a lot of work. Wonder why it was abandoned in the first place ?
