Claxton might be worth a miss for a year or two has suffered with fish kills first by otters then a low oxygen problem, though speaking to people that have float fished it last summer the silver fish seem to be making a come back. Problem is York don't own it and can't get a long contract so are unwilling to invest much in it as theres the risk of losing a year later. Shame because its a nice pond in summer despite the mozzies.

There's still plenty of roach to be had out of Claxton, and pike to 14lb have been caught this year. The YDAA have an ongoing dialog with EA regarding this water, and later in the spring the EA will be helping us get to the bottom of what species are present in the pond. It does need a lot of tlc to bring it back to it's former glory, but as Paul suggests, whether this will happen is as yet an unknown.
