It was originally used as a holding pool to refill passing steam trains and so is well over 160 years old. The biology has had this long to develop and is the secret to the incredible feeding in the Tarn. At that time, during the winter months it was also used as the local curling pool, however the Tarn has long since been deepend & the waters basin has been sculpted to create varied depths, suited to a wide variety of plant life & insect species. to find out permit options & suggestions on how & what's catching best on the Bait pool.
