sterry Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I dont know if this helps ! Well my dads m8 is owner of Blakemere Leisure its currently frozen over at the moment however it has a cracking stock of carp and quite few large ones too however it is quite expensive but the rules are quite reasonable and they dont allow many anglers on at a time so you aint got lines running left right and centre however it is bookings only ... im booked in to go Janaury !!!!! check the website loads of info !!! Another fav of mine is Marchamley near Hodnet i just love to fish this place dno why ! .. the owner says theirs only 1 30+ but theirs loads of doubles in their and supposingly a big cat ! (not 100% sure about this one) it can be quite pressured at time i prefer to go in the week so not as busy and prices not that bad £10 a night Hope this helps ... have look on google i searched for carp pools in shropshire and theirs loads which come up !!!

I have to admit that this wasn't something I'd considered when criticising your use of text talk. Based upon that I hope that you'll accept my genuine and sincere apology for my attack. I'll try to be more tolerant in future. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveiwatkins Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 i no this may be along shot,but does anyone no of any hidden gems in north shropshire.iv fished nearly all the well known pools,club waters,and syndicates over the years.and i just need to get away from the masses.i cant belive how so many people become instant carpers with out learning there trade on the rivers or canal.hope someone can help me..thanks..Hi Ive just leased a carp lake-Its 15 miles west of Shrewsbury in Four Crosses,Powys.The Carp Lake is in a secluded area.Its 2 1/2 acres with a good head of Carp(approx 100+ to 10lb,30 between 10 and 19lb with over 10 above 20lb)the biggest that came out last year was 25lb and the carpers have seen bigger.There is a good head of roach and rudd with perch to 4lb,a handful of chub to 5lb and a few tench.We are stocking in a couple of weeks with 10"chub and tench and 2 lb carp which will grow on quickly as there is an abundance of natural food(all carp in the lake were stocked over the last 15 years at no more than 2lb).We are going to sell day tkts(not on bank-will be phone bookings) with no more than 5 a day and season tkts with a max of 20. Will be open for fishing probs sometime in March as we are making 10 suitable pegs and to let the new fish settle.

nigewoodcock Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Where are you from Dave? How long do you have the lease for? It could be a nice little pool there. It's like fishing the blue lagoon! I have only had an hours stalking on there last summer, but have had some massive roach out of the other lake. I'm not sure the fish are all that big in there from what I witnessed when they were spawning last two years and the numerous times I have walked around. It would get quite cramped if all proposed five swims were taken. I suppose it depends on how you place them? If your figures are right, do you think such a small water needs more stock going in to it? Especially at that size of fish? Hope it all works out for you.
