Re: West Midland area
Furnace is a bit of a drive if you go mid week it can be fantastic , weekends it gets a bit full and I think that puts the fish off.
You can feed 6m out and catch massive roach and carp up to 10 all day long plus , as it right on the edge of the Wyre forest its the best looking fishery I have ever been to.
I also use Coppice Lane which is much closer I have had sone stunning catches there , again not a hard water , but when its crowded the carp pool is really hard during the middle of the day a good choice of pools too.
Hamstell fishery had some carp up to 30 on its specimen pool but they had a massive flood couple of years ago and lost a lot of fish.
If you find anywhere else Let me know.
