As a guide Birmingham Civil Services dug out a pool around around six years back, size is around 3/4 of an acre and accomodates 21 pegs, cost for excavation was around £1800, maybe Kingfisher/Polemaster can confirm, depths are around 5 foot, the pool was stocked with skimmers, tench, rudd, roach, crucians, a few chub and golden orfe, perch are also present but not stocked, maybe they got in from our main pool. As a pleasure pool it fishes superb but does tend to be a bit harder with a 20 pegger on it, having said that 10lb is not impossible during the winter and the record is around 27lb.
Heres a few pictures taken early May 2006 on our annual childerns match which was won with 8lb in 3 hours to give you some idea how it has developed.
