Tinkers Pond

Tinkers Pond offers a convenient fishing spot just outside Barnsley, nestled within South Yorkshire's city boundaries. With easy access and thoughtfully designed facilities, it caters to both regular anglers and those requiring additional support.

Facilities

Parking is readily available near the top pond, providing a hassle-free start to your fishing day. The pond also features specially designed pegs for wheelchair users, reflecting the club's commitment to accessibility. These disabled pegs ensure that everyone can enjoy fishing comfortably and safely.

Fishing Experience

Visitors can choose between the top and bottom ponds, each offering its own unique fishing environment. Historically, Tinkers Pond was heavily stocked with tench, making spring and summer sessions particularly lively. In response to seasonal changes, carp and silver fish have been introduced, enhancing the fishing opportunities during the colder months.

Fish Species

The introduction of carp and silver fish has diversified the aquatic life at Tinkers Pond. While tench remain a staple, anglers now have the chance to target these additional species, creating a more balanced and year-round fishing experience. Whether you're casting a line in warmer weather or enjoying the quieter months, Tinkers Pond provides a versatile fishing environment.
