Description:

Set between Stafford and Rugeley there are three spring fed, well-established pools on this attractive site.

This is a total pleasure fishing venue with carp of varying sizes and strains.

Pool 1 is more of a match fishing pool, mixed with tench and bream to 6lb, plus perch, roach, barbel, crucian, mirror, common, ghost and grass carp.

Pools 2 and 3 have the bigger fish to over 20lbs, the venue best is a 32-pounder from Pool 3.

Tactics:

There are very few rules here but it is advisable to read the novice before fishing if it's your first visit. Carp to legered hair-rigged bollie or pellet- there is a no feeding boilies whatsoever rule- corn and luncheon meat are good carp baits too. Any bait will score on Pool 1. Float fish pellet, meat, corn, worm, bread, maggot, caster or paste- they all have their day. A small ledger is well worth a try in winter.

Good Swims:

All the pools have attractive islands to fish to.

How to get there....

​Go over the River Trent then the canal and turn right into Bishton Lane. Keep on here, going over the slightly staggered crossroads and you eventually come to a rail bridge. Go over this and turn immediately right, then follow the blue signs to the fishery
