About the water

Barston Lakes is a comprehensive all-round fishing venue situated within the grounds of the West Midlands Golf Club in Solihull. The primary attraction is the 21-acre Barston Lake, featuring 125 pegs with car parking available directly behind or near half of the stations. This specimen water accommodates both match and carp anglers, with carp reported to reach 37lb. The site also includes a dedicated Match Pool, Jakes Lake, Daisys Lake, and a stretch of the River Blythe. Visitors benefit from full access to the golf clubhouse facilities, which includes a bar opening at 7:00 am and a restaurant serving food from 9:00 am on weekdays (8:00 am at weekends) available for takeaway to the bank. Additional amenities include toilets and showers, though anglers must remove fishing clothing before entering the clubhouse. Access is provided via day tickets, with card-only payments accepted at the golf shop. While matches for up to 100 people are common, the roadside bank often remains open for day ticket holders unless a 'Whole Lake' booking is specified. Tackl tip: No barbed hooks, surface fishing, or braid mainline are permitted, though braid is allowed between November 1st and May 1st.
