Description: The fishing on this spring-fed tarn is excellent, with stocks of carp to over 20lbs and tench to around 8lbs. There is also a much smaller number of large, old bream, again running up to about 8lbs.
A few years ago the fish stock in Cleabarrow was badly predated by otters with the loss of many large carp. Since then WADAA has carried out a major restoration project on the fishery. An otter proof fence has been erected, the weed has been brought under control, the overgrown islands cleared and numerous snags removed. Further work to replace the existing pegs and walkways is now complete and this little gem of a fishery is once again back to it's best.
Cleabarrow has also been generously restocked. Most of the carp are currently in the low teens but with odd larger specimens. The tench were less affected and the fishery can boast a number of fish to 8lbs with plenty around the 5 to 6lb mark. A small number of good bream up to 8lbs are also present along with a population of golden rudd.
