Yes loads of fish in there. If you know how to fish you will catch every cast, not big big but not bad. Mainly roach and pike, not seen any carp. Hope that helps.

No pike in HP,roach, perch, tench, carp and allegedly chub.No one has ever caught every cast,another fisherman lie.As has been mentioned in other threads Environment agency are advising not to fish due to blue/green algae.

The term 'catch every cast' don't really explain a lot JayNTray,

as the time period between casting out, getting a bite and hooking

a fish could vary from seconds to minutes or even hours.

And I'm not talking about Pike or Carp fishing with the aid bite alarms,

that's a different kettle of fish.

[JayNTray 10]

yes we walk the dog in the park and have seen these signs up too. I drove my uncle here a couple of months ago, dropped him off and took my auntie shopping round hillsborough and in the couple hours we were gone he didn't catch anything.
