Parking & Access
Parking is almost adjacent to the island pond, either on the small hardstanding or on the grass if the ground is dry, but be wary that the field can be very boggy in wet weather. Please park sensibly.
Description
Stonedge ponds consist of the island pond, containing carp, tench, roach, rudd and perch and the strip pond contains mostly carp to 10 lb.
Managed by Holymoorside Angling Club who were formed in 1968 by a group of enthusiastic anglers keen to find a base for their hobby.
The club has two venues, the first being Holymoorside Dam and the second being two small ponds at Stondedge, Chesterfield. Holymoorside Dam (Mill Pond) was constructed in the late seventeen hundreds to provide water for a mill situated to the North East of the dam.
The mill was demolished in the 1920's but the mill pond remains to provide a pleasant and relaxing place for local people as well as an increasingly enjoyable fishing venue.
Holymoorside Angling Club has a membership of around two hundred, with some being from the village but many travelling from all over Chesterfield to fish our venues and to take part in the matches hosted by the club on Monday evenings.
The Club hosts 13 Monday Evening matches beginning in May.
For further information on fishing these matches please contact the club via Facebook.
