Lake Rules & Information

Bait

We feed our fish on high protein boilies and pellets. We do allow the use of bait boats to access some of the more hard to reach spots but we insist that only 2 rods be used per angler to allow enough open water between swims

Visitors

Crabtree Pool encourages family bookings but we have a maximum number of 6 visitors to any one booking with only 4 Anglers permitted. For any larger bookings please contact us and make an enquiry

Surroundings

Crabtree Pool is close to a small village and which has a fantastic pub serving amazing food and drinks. Please respect our neighbours by keeping the peace and tranquility in tact

Fish

We are very keen to get as many pictures of our newly stocked fish as possible. Please send all your photos to [email protected]. Many of these fish have never been caught before

Tackle

Please ensure that your group are experienced anglers. Bailiffs will vist the site to check the correct tackle is being used
