so a bit about commbe ...
coombe pool is around 110 acres.. 85/90 fishable ..dug in 1770. what was in it up till 1940 ?? but in 1940 it was drained by MOD for security perposes during the war..the stock was sent to newbold quarry.. late 40s it was stocked again by the grey family and the grounds keeper, and was a very high class fishery..that original stock swims to present day, the pool was sold to Coventry council in 1958..and fish were added over the years, in the last 6 years various species have been added including around 250 carp a good few now over 20/30lb some of these carp was of the ORIGINAL LENEY STAIN as stocked in to southern estates inc redmire.now when the pool was restocked in the late 40s after it was drained the same carp was put in to the moat THE LENEY,s. could coombe pool still hold original Laney carp from the 40s the same era fish as redmire...with the size of the pool natural food source and relatively low fishing pressure could coombe hold something VERY SPECIAL.
