Description: Welcome to Coole Acres Fishery This purpose built fishery is located in the beautiful and relaxing South Cheshire countryside on Coole Lane midway between the town of Nantwich and the village of Audlem. From the original purchase of the land in 2007 (it was a simple 20 acre field of grazing land back then), the area has been very carefully designed and constructed to provide a location for true fishing enthusiasts. There are three stunning lakes to choose from, and these are stocked with a wide range of fish in sizes to suit both the relaxing pleasure angler and the seasoned sport and specimen angler. During the fishery design and build process it was a particular priority to make provision for local wildlife, and the fishery now counts a large number of returning species to site which have not been resident for perhaps the last two centuries. These include numerous bird species, a very good number of bee species and numerous butterfly and moth species. The most endangered British mammal The Water Vole Arvicola terrestris and the protected Great Crested Newt have also re-established on the site. The fishery provides impressive site facilities, including high quality toilets (including disabled), and high quality showers. We believe you can be assured that your fishing sessions will be both enjoyable and comfortable although, of course, we cannot ever guarantee our beloved UK weather! Coole Acres Fishery is simply the perfect place to spend a day on the pool chasing carp or tench and silverfish. If targeting specimen Carp and Wels Catfish (on Fox Lake), you can add night sessions to your day sessions to create 24 hour/36 hour/48 hour sessions or even longer.

For further information about the fishery just use the links in the menu above, they are pretty much self-explanatory.



Fox Lake

This is the specimen lake with Carp, Wels Catfish, Roach and Chub. The carp range to more than 30lb and the Wels Catfish to more than 45lb. Due to the size and type of fish on offer this lake also offers Night Sessions from 8:00 pm until 8:00 am. These sessions are also available 7 days a week and can be combined with Day Sessions.
