Rules:
Broad Acres has also relaxed its rules on permitted baits, allowing for the first time coarse fish feeder pellets and soft hooker pellets to be used. However, anglers should use only Broad Acres' own 'fish friendly' pellets which can be obtained from the on-site cafe.
As with many other fisheries, anglers are not allowed to use floating baits, groundbait or keepnets whilst the list of permitted baits includes luncheon and flavoured meats, maggots, casters, sweetcorn, bread, cat meat, prawns and worms, as long as they are washed and do not contain peat. The only other restriction is a maximum hook size of Size 10.

How to get there....
Broad Acres is just a 15 minute drive through the country from Junction 5 of the M5. After leaving the M5 follow the signs for Droitwich and go onto the B490 and follow the brown tourist signs for the Jinney Ring Craft Centre.
Just after the Craft Centre, which is on the left, turn right into Forest Lane and at the first crossroads turn right into Ditchford Bank Road. The entrance to the fishery is on the right after about 200 yards. |
