Matt Mole Fishery is a serene and picturesque venue located in the heart of the Shropshire countryside. Spanning 3.2 acres, this well-stocked lake is a haven for carp anglers, with carp weighing up to 37lb available for the taking. The fishing may prove to be challenging at times, but the satisfaction of landing a prized catch is worth the effort. With only 8 swims situated around the lake, Field Aston Reservoir offers an exclusive and intimate fishing experience for a maximum of four anglers at a time. This allows for ample space to target the diverse range of species present, including Catfish, Tench, Perch, Roach, and Rudd. Plans are in place to transform the fishery into a carp-only venue in the future. The venue provides anglers with access to comfortable amenities, including a large Oak lodge with washrooms, showers, and kitchen facilities. Its convenient location near Newport town ensures easy access to local dining options and amenities. The lake bed features a uniform clay marl composition, with varying depths and underwater features such as lilies, reed beds, and overhanging trees. Anglers are advised to use boilie tactics, with smaller and brightly colored hook baits proving to be effective. Adapting to changing weather conditions and fishing stealthily are crucial for success at Field Aston Reservoir. The attentive bailiff emphasizes the importance of maintaining quietness and discretion while fishing to avoid spooking the carp. Using back leads and subtle baiting techniques are recommended to minimize disturbances and attract the elusive fish. Overall, Matt Mole Fishery offers a tranquil and rewarding fishing experience for anglers seeking a peaceful retreat in the countryside.
