Brief description of fishery:
Part of the illustrious Willey Estates, Park Farm, Broseley has become known as Dawley Angling Societies premium water, often competing with some well known commercial fisheries for match weights caught. Set in peaceful surroundings where deer can often be spotted this pool is cherished by anglers of all ages travelling from great distance to fish.
Acquired in the early 2000’s Park Farm was kept closed to the public for a period of years whilst a stocking, development and feeding program was vigilantly maintained before the society permitted their members to fish, this program established a healthy stock level in the pool, with many still swimming in the waters to this day. A very strong head of carp can be found here with some beautiful mirror carp examples especially, for those wishing to target the silvers there are plenty of roach, bream, and some prize example perch to be found. Roach over the pound and Perch over 3lb have both been caught here but it takes a dedicated and persistent approach to catch these.
Good baits to use include the usual Pellets, Corn, bread, casters for the carp as well as Maggots, pinkies and small bread punch for the silvers.
This pool suits pole anglers well with many fish caught in the margins or shallow water during the warmer months, but anglers can be equally rewarded with more traditional methods of a float rod, method feeder, bomb & bread, a recent haul of large silvers was caught using a swing tip.
Park Farm really is a gem of a water suited to all anglers of all ages and styles.
