Carburn Park Pointers

Apparently ice fishing is allowed, and i thought i might try it.
Any hints?

My hint would be not to fish there. The odds of catching something are not that high.

X2, It was a fun place to fish years ago but I understand once you've caught 2 fish outta there, you've in fact only caught one-twice.

I got suckered into fishing their once 2 seasons ago & ended up with lots of casting practice, that's it! I ran into a group of about 4 young guys who were trying that day as well & they hadn't had a hit or seen a fin either. Also tried ice fishing there that same winter with the same success (or lack of). I suspect that several years ago either a few fish were put in there or else high river levels washed a few pike in there & they lived long enough to make people believe there was a decent population of fish living in the ponds.

I caught a little hammer handle there in the summer. and seen a few perch, but I dont think I would waste my time in the winter.
Summer is nice because there is lots of room to practice with a fly rod

I have only been fishing in Carburn Park once, on a hot sunny sunday afternoon. Fished it for about 4 hrs in total and landed 1 small pike on a red devil.

Funny... I go there for some hard water from time to time. I like that its close and can just head out for a few hrs anyday. I allways get a few pike and some perch out of there. Nothing of size but manage a few fish.

We toss the pike back but these 2 were not going to make it as they were hooked deep.

The guy knows full well that the third pond was washed out and is now part of the river.
