Stocking Day Success! Stunning Carp & Bream Join the Plough Waters

This week brought an exciting milestone for the Plough Angling Club as we completed our annual fish stocking at the Plough Pond. With a fresh wave of beautiful, healthy fish now settling into their new home, the future of our waters has never looked brighter.

A huge thank you goes to Tom and his team at Priory Fishery for delivering the fish safely and professionally. Every fish arrived in superb condition, and their care and quality really shone through. You can find more about their excellent work here:

Barry and Chris were on-site to witness the delivery and help release the fish, and a special thanks goes to John, our Treasurer, for handling the payment and the paperwork behind the scenes.


? Fish Stocked This Year

60 x 1.5lb (14”) Bream
These strong, healthy silver fish will offer excellent sport for anglers throughout the year. Their natural shoaling behaviour promises lively action, while their presence helps maintain a balanced and thriving ecosystem in the pond.

32 x 4lb+ C3 Grade A Mirror Carp
A stunning batch of young Mirror Carp, each already averaging 4lbs or more. All Grade A quality, showcasing beautiful scale patterns and fantastic condition. These fast-growing fish will develop into powerful, exciting specimens that will bring plenty of thrills to the Plough Pond for years to come.


We’re confident these new additions will thrive and further enhance the angling experience for all members. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead at the Plough Pond — tight lines, everyone! ?
