About the water

Heronbrook Fisheries is on Newcastle Road at Slindon, just off the A519 and two miles from Eccleshall in Staffordshire. The site covers 25 acres and has six pools: Match Lake, Match Pool, Meadow Pool, Canal, Bridge Pool and Island Pool. The website focuses on match fishing, with open results and upcoming events available to view. Match Lake opened in 1994, followed shortly afterwards by Match Pool. The main section of Match Lake has 18 pegs spaced 18 metres apart. Match Pool has 20 pegs at 20-metre intervals and is stocked with F1s, common carp and mirror carp. Canal was designed and built in 1996 with pole anglers in mind and was subsequently extended. Bridge Pool is a purpose-built match water with 25 pegs, spaced 20 metres apart. Island Pool has 12 pegs with the same spacing. Meadow Pool opened in 2004 and has 30 pegs set between 20 and 25 metres apart. The venue has an app for booking matches, creating events and checking results. Its older opening-times page also describes pleasure fishing around match bookings: anglers must leave a pool an hour before an evening match starts, while pleasure fishing is permitted after a day match has finished.
