For many years anglers were not allowed to use feeder pellets at the fishery but in 2021 the venue introduced its own range of pellets which are available from the cafe and are the only feeder pellets that should be used. Because Riddings Pool holds a good head of carp, mini boilies are a good bait which also produce bonus bream, although loose feeding boilies and trout pellets is not allowed because they ferment in the pool. The Riddings is open all year round from 6.00am until 9.00pm in summer and 7.00am until 5.00pm in winter. Keepnets are allowed on Folly and Crucian pools but not on The Riddings and Specimen pools. Anglers are recommended to use 6lb to 8lb line fished straight through to a 12 or 14 hook whilst pole anglers need to use either a 14 or 16 elastic. The large number of double figure fish make this a sensible minimum. Rules and conditions See notice board in car park for any additions: Handle all fish with care. Use only barbless hooks. Please put all litter, line, unwanted bait in bins provided. No dogs allowed on site. Please use the toilets provided. Use unhooking mats for landed fish. Please take home broken umbrellas, chairs, poles etc. No bolt rigs or elasticated feeders. Children must be supervised at all times. Respect other anglers, keep noise to a minimum. Groundbait must be fed in cups or feeders, no balling. No tiger nuts or peanuts. Use only Riddings own feeder pelletsavailable on site.

Facilities: The Gravel walkways behind every peg make the fishery suitable for Disabled Anglers. Next to the main Car Park, which is only yards from Riddings Pool yet screened from the water by trees and shrubs, is a Cafe which is open seven days a week for hot and cold sandwiches, bacon and eggs, tea, coffee, cold drinks and confectionery. Next to the Cafe are clean and well maintained Ladies and Gents Toilets.
