Housmans Pool
Members Only
Opening
in
2018,
Housmans
Pool
is
a
beautiful
tree
lined
1
acre
water
set
in
very
peaceful,
secluded
surroundings
a
few
miles
from
Ironbridge.
When
the
club
first
took
on
the
water
it
was
overgrown
and
contained
no
fish,
this
made
it
ideal
for
the
stocking
of
crucian
carp.
In
2017,
working
in
conjunction
with
the
EA,
the
club
stocked
a
good
number
of
both
crucians
and
tench
and
both
species
have
established
themselves
and
are
showing
good
rates
of
growth.
Anti
cormorant
tapes
have
been
placed
across
the
pool
to
protect
the
fish
from
the
attentions
of
these voracious predators.
There
are
around
ten
swims
present
on
Housemans
all
of
which are easy to access and fish.
Simple tactics are the way to fish Housmans though do take
into account that crucians are notorious for their delicate
feeding so light float tactics work well.
