Information
Dawford Pool is a stunning two-acre venue located on the Staffordshire/Shropshire border, offering anglers a peaceful and tranquil setting to target carp. With a healthy stock of carp that includes common and scaley mirror carp up to 35lb, this lake is a popular choice for both local anglers and carp enthusiasts from across the country. The lake is restricted to just three anglers at any one time, ensuring that the venue remains exclusive and allowing anglers to enjoy a more private fishing experience. With only five swims available, anglers have the opportunity to move around the lake to stay on fish or to socialize with their angling party. Two of the swims are located on a central island accessible by bridge, providing a unique angling experience with full views of the lake. The lakebed at Dawford Pool is generally firm smooth silt, with some areas of harder sand and gravel that can be easily located by anglers. The depths in the lake range from an average of 5ft to deeper 6ft areas towards the road bank. Anglers fishing the island drop-offs report a clear and hard bottom, ideal for presenting hook baits. Weather conditions play a key role in angling success at Dawford Pool, with warm weather, good winds, and lower than usual pressure indicating that the fish will be on the feed. Anglers who are prepared to bait heavily and be patient can often achieve great hits, especially with the chance of landing better fish. During still conditions, setting traps in the edge and being stealthy can lead to success. Facilities on site include a clean compositing toilet, a hot gas shower for exclusive use, and a secure private car park, making Dawford Pool a comfortable and enjoyable destination for anglers looking to enjoy a long session. This intimate and charming venue is perfect for exclusive lake bookings, providing anglers with their own slice of fishing heaven in a secluded country setting.
