Fishpond HSV 't Sluisje

HSV 't Sluisje has a history starting on 19 July 1947, when the club 't Sluisje was founded. 27 people from Lieshout became members that evening. How the club went in the first 40 years is summarised in a nice booklet.

Fishpond 't Luytelaar
Since 1975 we have our own fishing lake, the pearl of Lieshout. If you have seen it, you are convinced that this is a unique piece of nature within Lieshout. And not only fishermen can enjoy it. Our complex, including the fishpond, is 3 hectares in size and is completely surrounded by greenery. There is a wide slope around the pond so you can always find a spot in the sun, or not. Even in windy weather there is always a quiet spot. The planting around the pond has taken into account that it is very easy to cast a carp rod or feeder. Our fishpond is also very popular among brides and grooms: under the big weeping willow or on the bridge, many beautiful pictures have been taken. For those who seek peace and quiet, this is a relief, but you must love singing birds, because there are a lot of them here. Even the kingfisher likes to live here. Our fishpond consists of two lungs, which are connected by the bridge. The fish stock of the pond is extremely good: from heavy carp to beautiful bream and tench. There are also roach, rudd, pii, eel, pike, sturgeon and perch. The most beautiful fighter among the fish is the tench or, as we call it in Brabant, the loin or law. Advice: Don't fish too thinly, use elastic or a reel with a slip. In recent years, we have released many K1 carp, both scale and mirror carp, crucian carp and tench. A pleasure to have them on the hook. The feeder rod is very suitable for this, both on the bottom or with a float in the top, at a depth of half a metre or sometimes a metre. The fishing water is perfect for fishing with the fixed rod with a hollow elastic in the top section. It is an experience when the elastic is pulled 15 metres out of your rod tip and you end up winning from the carp. We had to ban the live net because there were fishermen who caught more than 20 carp and put the fish all in the live net. On the right lung we have a great disabled jetty, which is easy to access with a wheelchair. It is also one of the better fishing spots. From the jetty to the club house (shelter) is only 20 metres, so if it starts raining, you're there in no time.
At the back of the left lung, there is a beautiful disabled landing and parking area. Around our fishpond there are benches everywhere, especially for the people who come to enjoy this unique place. To keep everything tidy, there are litter bins around the pond. Behind the tennis courts there is parking for 100 cars, which is only 40 metres from the clubhouse. You will enjoy getting to know our fishpond 't Luytelaar. That is why we like to call our fishing water the pearl of Lieshout.
