Arles PoolArles Pool
 Ideal for pleasure anglers, club bookings, high profile contests and open matches, Arles Pool holds 40 Pegs and has a central island which gives anglers plenty of features to fish to. Arles is classed as an easy water to fish and the current pool record of 183lb was taken by Kev Slade in just four and a half hours. A great venue for fishing either the pole close in or in open water or the waggler in open water, close in to the side or against the island, Arles Pool is also popular on the feeder. Whatever technique you choose, fishing a still bait over Woodland View's own feeder pellets is the most popular technique with maggots, casters, worm, sweetcorn, luncheon meat and Woodland View's own 'Wonder Pellets' all being readily taken baits.
In addition there are good stocks of roach and rudd to 2lbs, golden orfe to 2lbs, chub to 1lb and even barbel which show regularly and which run to 4lbs - good fighting fish by any standards. Matches are frequently won with weights in excess of 100lb. Because the pool is fully oxygenated, good fishing is virtually guaranteed all year round.
