The lakes
Four waters make up the fishery. Fox Lake is the one specimen anglers travel for: five to seven acres, seventeen gravelled swims and a path the whole way round, with open water features to go at. Kingfisher and Lodge lakes carry the pleasure fishing, better suited to short sessions and newer anglers, with a fourth water on the complex.
Tickets and booking
Swims are booked through the online system on cooleacresfishery.co.uk or by phone on 07984 347465. The fishery does not publish prices online and bookings are non refundable, with date changes needing fourteen days notice, so confirm the current rates and rules when you book rather than turning up on spec.
What to fish for
Fox Lake holds carp past 40lb with a strong head of thirties, and catfish to 60lb that give the venue its specimen pull in the North West. The pleasure lakes hold mixed coarse stock for bites through the day. As with any specimen water, expect the bigger fish to demand time and thought rather than turning up on the first rod out.
Getting there and facilities
The fishery sits on Coole Lane south of Nantwich in the south Cheshire countryside. On site you get a country bar and restaurant, toilets and parking, plus a touring caravan and tent park and adults only luxury lakeside lodges, so overnight and weekend trips are easy to build around the fishing.
