Square Pond is a 6.5-acre fishery located in Neath, Swansea. It is believed to be a syndicate-controlled lake. The pond is stocked with carp averaging over 20lb, with some reaching over 30lb. It is a challenging venue with a low stock, but it offers rewarding catches for those willing to put in the effort.

What size do the fish go to?

The carp in Square Pond average over 20lb, with some specimens exceeding 30lb. These fish are considered to be in excellent condition and provide a worthy challenge for anglers.

What tactics work well?

Since Square Pond is not a heavily stocked lake, locating the fish before choosing a swim is essential. During the summer months, targeting areas near lily pads in the “social swims” or the “Pylon” swims can be effective, as fish tend to hide in these spots. Presentation of bait close to the lilies can improve chances of success. Using zigs, although underutilized on this lake, may yield positive results if employed correctly. Using a spomb to apply a mix of boilies, corn, tiger nuts, or smaller particles can also be effective, although smaller particles may attract bream.
