ABOUT WATER'S EDGE FISHERY

Welcome to Water's Edge FISHERY

The Waters Edge Fishery, nestled on Wenlock Edge in Much Wenlock, Shropshire, was once a disused quarry but has been transformed into a private country park and fishery. Featuring a 1-acre pool and a 30-acre lake, both former quarries, it offers a diverse fishing experience. The smaller pool is available to be booked right now as hard work continues to allow anglers to fish the large quarry in the future – watch this space!

Stocked with mainly Carp and perch, the small lake provides ample opportunities for the angler who gets it right on the day. Originally a sediment pond for the quarry, it was revamped in 2021, boasting a re-sculpted landscape and reshaped islands giving anglers plenty of features to fish to. In November 2021, it was stocked with approximately 100 scaly mirrors and chestnut commons from local fish farmer Ed Mathews of Freshwater Fisheries. The lake opened for fishing in 2022 giving the fish plenty of time to get used to their new home, hopefully providing anglers with a session to remember.

OUR WATERS

Officially opened for fishing in 2022, the fishery spans an acre in size, featuring 10 swims, 6 of which are bark-chipped and ideal for night fishing with even the largest of bivvies. Only a maximum of 5 anglers are permitted at any given time, each allowed to use 2 rods. The average depth is 6ft, with the deepest area reaching 12ft.

Proven tactics include solid bag fishing and surface fishing in the warmer months. Anglers typically use boilies and pellets, although yellow hook baits such as sweetcorn or yellow pop-ups also yield results. Maize can be effective, especially if a lot of sweetcorn has been used previously.

According to the fishery management team, fish react to the wind, so anglers should position themselves accordingly, with preference given to the back of a cold wind or the front of a warm wind. Fish tend to congregate between the islands, making them prime spots for casting.

During warmer months, the pool may become weedy, but anglers should not overlook these areas, as fish are often drawn to them.

Mats, slings, and nets are provided; please do not bring your own.
