Description:

These two delightful, natural, privately owned pools, set besides the River Severn are accessed via Telford Way in Shrewsbury.
They are a pleasure to fish with a variety of species including carp to 28 lb, bream to 11 lb, tench topping 5 lb, perch to 3 lb, lots of chub to 3 lb, plus the occasional barbel, dace and bleak.

Tactics:

Try for the larger carp to legered hair-rigged large pellet, luncheon meat or corn. Mixed catches to float fished soft pellet, caster, maggot or chopped worm- the latter two baits can be exceptional at times.
Fish over regular loose feed, not a large bed of feed.


Good Swims:

There are plenty of features including small islands to fish to.
