Description: Laybrook Fishery has four Ponds, Byron, Milton, Shelley and Sutton: Byron This smaller pond is ideal for pleasure fishing and is excellent for beginners or a family day out. It contains roach, rudd, crucians, perch and carp. Although most of the fish here are of small to average size, a few surprises can be caught. Average depth is 4 to 5 feet, with a number of lily pads. Byron is next to the car park, therefore access to all swims is easy with well maintained paths. There is a swim for less able anglers or wheelchair users. Milton This Pond is connected to Shelley with well maintained paths around it. It is stocked with carp, tench, bream, roach, rudd, perch and pike often of larger sizes than Byron. Specific tackle is required for carp fishing. Average depth is 6ft and it has a few lily pads and a small island. Shelley This Pond is favoured by our carp anglers and has some very popular swims. A new swim for less able anglers is planned for the near future. Shelley has fish similar to Milton and often of larger sizes than Byron. Depth varies from 3 to 9 ft with some lily pads. Sutton is a small pond with bullrushes and lily pads. It averages 3 to 4ft deep. It is stocked with crucians, roach, rudd, perch and tench. Whilst it is a little further to walk it is favoured by pole anglers or families.
