Claremont Farm Fishery keeps things straightforward: one mixed coarse lake at Old Clatterbridge Road, Bebington, Wirral, CH63 4JB. The official website says the refurbished fishery has reopened, so this isn't just an old listing hanging about. At approximately one acre, it's a compact venue rather than a sprawling complex. That's a useful starting point if your idea of a day out is choosing a peg and settling into some mixed coarse fishing.

The species list is the proper draw here. Common and mirror carp are reported alongside crucian carp, tench, bream, roach, rudd and chub. That gives the lake appeal beyond simply chasing carp all day. Fancy a mixed bag rather than putting everything into one species? This is the sort of line-up worth a look. No fish weights are supplied, though, so don't mistake a varied stock list for a promise of lumps or a PB.

There are 26 reported fishing pegs and a perimeter access path. One peg is reported as suitable for disabled access, which is handy to know before making plans. It doesn't establish that every swim is accessible, mind. If that particular peg matters to your day, speak to Tom before setting off and check the arrangements. Fishing is restricted to designated pegs, so there's no choosing a cheeky spot elsewhere around the bank.

Ticket choices cover adults, younger anglers and night fishing. The adult ticket is specifically an all-day option; the under-16 and under-12 tickets don't have a stated duration. Likewise, the night price is per person without a published session length. Gates open at 7am and close at 7pm sharp, making night-access arrangements something to sort beforehand. Booking enquiries go to Tom with the fishery, although whether advance booking is compulsory isn't specified.

Get the tackle and bait checks done before loading the car. A mat and landing net are required, hooks must be barbless and multi-hook rigs aren't allowed. Bread, nuts, home-prepared particles, homemade boilies and shelf-life boilies are all prohibited. Groundbait must be used moderately, with no mole soil. Keepnets are banned too. In short, don't assume your usual bait bucket is bob on for this lake without checking its contents against the rules.

Away from the peg, the farm café and shop open daily from 9am to 5pm, giving you a useful food-and-drink stop within those hours. Rubbish bins are provided, dogs must stay on leads and spectators need the bailiff's agreement. An older listing mentions a portable toilet, but its current availability needs checking. The overall appeal is clear enough: a small mixed fishery with useful farm extras, straightforward ticket options and firm rules to get familiar with.

Good background reading. Most of it is a few years old, so treat it as a starting point and ask on the day.
