npowell28 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 Has anyone got any up to date info on Bishops Bowl Lakes in Warwickshire, in particular the Mitre Pool(the big opposite the match lake) and also the Blue Pool(the one through the tunnel). Details of any catches, rigs, baits would be great. Thanks Neil Quote
Gaz Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 http://www.fisheries.co.uk/bishops/index.htm heres some info on it mate, there is some more if you have s search Quote
speersy26 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 worth going mate, I personally like the place the fish in there speci water fight VERY hard and provide great sport. Quote
npowell28 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Posted June 25, 2009 By speci water do you mean the mitre pool. The large one the match pool side of the tunnel? What sort of size do they go to? Quote
npowell28 Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Posted June 27, 2009 Fished here yesterday on the Mitre pool. How much weed? It's literally clogged with it. Spoke to the bailiff who delighted in telling me that there were a few 40's in there and some 60's in the greenhill pool(the one that you can't fish anymore. It's the old trout lake). Not sure i beleive that. Anyway it was a tough day and i blanked on the Mitre pool, but i did get to watch a group of 5 small tench feeding on some sweetcorn and hemp that i had thrown in the margins. That was good. I'd seen carp feeding before, the carp were grazing eating loads of sweetcorn in one go, but the tench were more tentative taking a piece and then going away and coming back for more. Felt quite privilidged to see that. Anyway haven't given up on the Mitre pool. I will return, just need to find some better spots. Quote
brickfish Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 Believe me there are no 40s or 60s in any of these lakes. I was a bailliff there for near enough 10 years. I only seen 2 30s come out. 1 in the blue pool and 1 in the mitre. There used to be some lumps in the blue pool but they have long gone vanished in to thin air. The new owners should let you fish the green hill (jet ski) but speak to paul not his dad. Npowell send me pm and i will give you a few pointers. Quote
lardybloke Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Bishops Bowl has been bought by a new owner recently, they have changed a fair bit around the lakes, even linked a couple of the smaller ones. In particular they have cleared a lot of new pegs around the Mitre Pool, the one with the big cliff face at the back. You can fisgh the jet ski lake, it's a bit remote though, a fair trek with a barrow. Quote
rosstheangler Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 I fished there a few times and wasn't really that impressed. No way in the world is 40's or 60's. I'd be surprised if there is any 30's anymore. Greenhill is going syndicate I believe. That might be worth it depending on the price. Day ticket wise is a bit pricey for the fish that's in there. You can fish Linear for the money and have a chance of 30+. Quote
lardybloke Posted June 15, 2013 Report Posted June 15, 2013 I dropped in at bishops bowl today just to enquire about night fishing as I was passing. Have to say I was very impressed with the help and advice I was given by the owner Sean. He offered to fish with me when I go and help me tackle up. Loads of advice on bait and tactics on a couple of the lakes, really nice bloke, better than some lakes I've been to where all they're interested in is your ticket money. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted June 15, 2013 Report Posted June 15, 2013 Always wanted to fish here but i take my dog with me, it's the same at Combe abby which is strange as i walk my dog around combe abby park Quote
