if youknow the pond at stillingfleet on the naburn road its great at the moment . you can average tench from 5lb to 9lb most people go for the carp but i prefer the tench pound for pound i find tench fight harder.good luck if you go there.

if u want tench then u need to go to middleton park pond in leeds, its full of tench ranging from 4lb to 10lb no 1s much about this pond but beleive me, ive fished this pond for many years n had no trouble of catching big tench.
bread, meat, corn and maggots work well here.
its free all u need is ur lisence
