Enjoy a relaxing day fishing in an idyllic environment

Coole Acres is a relatively new fishery which opened in 2012 in Nantwich, Cheshire. The picturesque venue contains 3 lakes which are stocked with a range of coarse fish.

Fox Lake – if big fish are your thing then you should get set up around there. The specimen specimen lake contains carp which run into the late 20s, catfish to the mid 20s. If you like staying out, you can night fish this one too.

Spanner Lake – a pleasure lake which is suited to match tactics. In here you can target roach, bream, chub and carp – the carp range in the 4lb to 13lb bracket.

Lodge Lake – this is a bit of a hidden gem and offers something different to a lot of places. There are no carp in here, but the lake is stocked with a big head of tench, which nearly hit double figures. In here, you can also catch crucians, roach and chub.
