Description: Pillaton Hall Farm is home to three well-stocked coarse fishing pools, all enjoying far reaching views over Cannock Chase. Built by the Pearce family in the late 1990's the pools have been regularly stocked with good quality fish, sourced from some of the oldest lakes in the UK.
Pool 1 - The Dip The Dip is the largest pool on the site but is also the most open to the elements - so remember to pack some warm clothes for a windy and cold day. Located at the far end of the site the pool has an island in the middle, making it an ideal pool on which to use a feeder. Around the margins the waters are shallow; running from 1ft gradually falling away to 9 or 10 ft around the island, making it a safer option for children as the margins are shallower than the others. Pool 2 - The Marl Pit The smallest pool on the site is The Marl Pit which, while used as a stock pool, also has a good range of larger fish and is the only pool at present to hold ghost carp. The deepest point is in the centre at 6ft with depths of about 3ft around its margins. This is a nice pool for hot days as you have some tree cover on one side, offering welcome shade. Pool 3 - The Chase View Pool If you fancy a quiet afternoon's fishing and don't mind a 5 minute walk, then park on The Dip car park and follow the signs. This pool is only a few years old but has come on extremely well - as it is a little further from the car park it gets fished less often and the fish are in fantastic condition. The end closest to the gate has a sunken island 2ft below the surface dropping around the sides of the island to about 8ft, which is the average depth of the pool. |
