Shrewley pool Warwick continues to provide bumper sport even in the lower temperatures. Fishing a foot deep up in the water with pellet is still bagging 100lb nets. Small soft pellet or maggot on a 14 hook is most popular method. Feed little and often and be prepared to wait for the carp to move up. Alternative approach is to fish on the deck with meat and expect to catch carp to 5lb, feed pellet and hemp at 8m for best results.
