The fishery is rightly proud of its proper English carp stocks - they run to 25 lb, with bream to 9 lb, tench to 6 lb, perch to over 4 lb, roach nudging 2 lb and rudd to 1 lb. These stocks apply to Heron whilst Kingfisher, although similar, has fewer bream but pro rata more carp.
Kingfisher and Heron would be the pick for silver fish too. Cuckoo are pleasure lakes only and along with Moat, the oldest lake on-site, are similarly stocked to Kingfisher. Abbey is stocked much the same but with catfish to 57 lb as well, that fish was reported two years ago so could be much higher now. |

Heron Lake - A preferred lake on site by many, with multiple captures likely, this lake is perfectly suited to anglers wishing to have plenty of action. Overlooked by the new Café and W/C facilities, Heron Lake is a very accessible venue and boasts the use of a brand new and exclusive spit complete with three swims and fire pit facilities for a great social setting allowing the angler to fish amongst friends and family. The carp run from single figures up to 25lb+ and the Catfish have grown to over 40lb. With depths ranging to 15ft at its deepest, anglers who utilise pellet and luncheon meat score well when targeting both species. Fishing tight to the island often brings plenty of action, but you should always look to keep a rod in the edge, as you just never know what might pick up your bait next, and these fish get everywhere, even the bigger moggies!
Kingfisher Lake - For the carp enthusiast look no further than Kingfisher Lake. Stocked with only carp, there is a wide selection of mirror and common carp to upper twenties, it is only a matter of time, before these push the magical 30lb mark! With a mature large island and patches of lily pads throughout, the clay bottomed lake is the perfect place to target carp, using a wide array of tactics. Fishing with a good quality fishmeal boilie or pellet approach will serve you well, and also introducing corn will often help to nick you a bite. Located at the bottom of the fishery, there are depths to 6ft on the 3 acre lake, and it is set-up so every angler gets their very own water to target.
Abbey Lake - Without doubt, the jewel in the Poole Hall Crown is Abbey Lake, a dedicated catfish specimen lake with multiple residents to 80lb! spanning 4.5acres, Abbey Lake boasts depths to over 20ft and is also home to a large island and set of lily pads, making it now only a deep home for the catfish residents but a feature rich and aesthetically pleasing lake for the angler. With no less than three different types of Catfish to target, Wels, Mandarin and even Albino, Abbey Lake is the pinacol of English catfish venues. Fishing close in or targeting shady water, under overhanging bushes or undercut island banks, many anglers have done extremely well fishing over spreads of halibut pellets, with large 20mm or even bigger pellet hook baits, or even generous cubes of luncheon meat straight on the hair. Whatever tactic you chose, just be ready for the battle of a life time, when that take comes, as these fish love to fight hard.
Cuckhoo Lake - The smallest lake on site at just ¾ of an acre, Cuckhoo Lake has been constructed with the family in mind. A romantic little piece of water designed for anglers of all abilities to come and wet a line and enjoy fishing traditional methods such as float or feeder fishing. With a mixed stock of coarse fish including, Carp, Roach, Tench and Bream, cuckhoo lake is perfect for getting bites and either introducing younger anglers to fishing or simply enjoy sitting and watching a float whatever your age. With depths to 6ft, and a clean substrate it is an easy lake to target, making it perfect to bring the children for regular bites and plenty of fun to keep the little ones entertained.
Moat - A true slice of English history, the moat is the oldest of the lakes that even features in the Domesday Book! This piece of quintessential English heritage plays homage to how the fishery very first started when the carp were introduced by the monks. At an acre in size, this fishery is home to Carp, Roach, Bream and Tench and offers depths up to 5ft. A very quiet little water, the Moat wraps its way around half of the Poole Hall home and offers the anglers the chance to target a mixed variety of species in a very historic setting.
