Description:
Controlled by the Blackfords Progressive AS, the members only. Leacroft Pool is easy to find, just off the A5 in between Cannock and Brown hills. The two-acre pool, complete with bays, lily pads and deeper margins has given its member's carp to upper-20's, pike over 20 lb and bream to 6 lb. There are also roach, tench and crucian carp but they are hard to come by.

Tactics:
Leger hair-rigged boilies or a large pellet for the carp; floating baits are always worth a try, especially during the evening. Another ploy is to feed a bit of corn down the edge or close to any feature like a lily pad bed and try a grain or two on the hook. Bream tend to get caught on carp intended baits but soft pellet should produce some as well. Winter pike to a float or legered small sea deadbaits. Good Swims: Those with the lily bed features and deeper margins. |
