What happened to Barmston pond Jim?

[on the mark]

What happened to Barmston pond Jim?

Was just going to ask that myself, long time since i was down there, all sorts of things were going to happen not so long ago but i think complaints from the houses that run to the waters edge put the kybosh on the plans?

[Jimk2]

Barmston pond was polluted and subsequently all the fish died. Some were rescued and taken elsewhere.
I seen big carp dead, some huge eels and a few small pike.
It is for sale now and looks lifeless with no signs of fish.

Now that you mention it I'm sure I remember my friend telling me that. A few years ago I was fishing there and watched some very big carp cruising around in the margins.
What a shame.

[Jimk2]

It is an absolute shame Ian, it's on my doorstep and your right there was very big carp in there and it did produce big pike.
The dead carp I seen would of been 16lb the eel must of been 5lb plus and biggest pike was about 6lb with a lot of dead micro jacks.
