"A fantastic mixed fishery, perfect for beginners and seasoned anglers alike"

The Dandy Pool is set within the outskirts of Little Dawley and the Telford Town Park. The pool is part of a three pool complex and is the second largest of the three. The pool is the first pool from the car park and quite possibly the most popular pool on the complex.
The Dandy pool has recently undergone some updating with the management of trees and plant life. The Dandy Pool has a very good stock of fish and would be classed as a typical "runs water" for the budding day time carp angler. There are other species in the pool to target however, carp angling is the mainstay on this pool.

The terrain around the pool is quite flat however, those who need mobility aids such as wheel chairs may find it difficult. Some of the pegs could be accessed by those anglers, however, doing so is at their own risk. Disabled anglers will not be able to navigate the perimeter of the pool due to the nature of the terrain.
**All anglers are to assess their own capabilities before they fish TAA waters.

Baits And Methods That Work On DANDY Pool.

Baits And Methods On The Dandy?
Whether you're a course anger, or you favour carp fishing tactics, you have the chance of a great days angling on the Dandy Pool.

If you are targeting Roach, Perch, Crucian Carp, Bream and Rudd you cant beat the usual course fishing methods such as Waggler (float), Pole, Feeder and Bomb tactics. Maggots, Casters, Hemp, a good quality groundbait, pellets, sweetcorn and small bandable boilies and wafters will help you pick out the Carp on the Dandy.

​

If you are targeting the many good sized carp, with carp fishing tactics, many of the best fish are caught using PVA bags with pellet, particle feed with boilies, wafters and pop-ups on the hook. 

Spodding is allowed on the pool however, in the hotter months, Oxygen levels may drop and this may be restricted in such an event.
