Developed over a period of 10 years on part of a former vegetable farm and opened for fishing last year, Catchmore Park Fishing at Marston near Sutton Coldfield offers angling for carp to over 20lbs and tench at an informal and relaxed 50 acre venue. Ideal for pleasure anglers and their families as well as small club matches, four of the five pools have a central island and are fringed with young willows. With vehicle access around all the pools and parking behind the pegs, Catchmore Park has now reopened. Click on the link for full details and photographs.

A little known but delightful pool hidden from the main A44 Worcester to Leominster road as you enter the market town of Bromyard, Rosefern Pool was for many years run as a syndicate water but opened for day ticket angling early in 2019 and has already attracted a small but faithful local following. Stocked with more than a dozen species including carp reputed to run to 20lbs, it is an easy water to fish with natural grass pegs and few facilities except for a hard standing car park. It is ideal for parents with younger anglers as the roach and roach/rudd hybrids can give you virtually a fish a cast.

Worcestershire's Broad Acres Fishery has installed four timber Anglers' Pods on Main Lake to provide night ticket anglers with accommodation which is a touch more luxurious than standard bivvies.

Ideal for individual anglers, couples or families, the pods are set slightly back from the waters edge and are available for hire at an introductory cost of £30.00. The pods are available from 11.00am until 10.00am the following day.
