The full rundown on Blake Hall Fisheries
Blake Hall Fisheries sits on Brookhouse Road near Cheadle, Staffordshire, with ST10 2NJ the postcode to keep handy. The five-water venue occupies approximately 30 acres and covers mixed coarse fishing, carp and matches. That gives it a broad appeal: somewhere to consider for a relaxed pleasure session, a match outing or getting a youngster started without making the whole day about chasing a lump.
The waters have quite different proportions. Peninsula is the biggest at 8 acres, while Blake offers approximately 2.5 acres and 41 pegs. Hall has 30 pegs across 2 acres, and Capricious has 36 pegs over approximately 2.5 acres. Then there’s seven-peg Cabin Pool, specifically described as suitable for youngsters and beginners. Its published size varies, so the useful bit is its small peg count and beginner-friendly purpose.
On the fish front, common and mirror carp reportedly reach 30lb. There are also bream, roach, skimmers, tench, perch and barbel, with the venue advertising perch to 4lb and barbel to 7lb. Those are venue-wide claims, not a promise about what’s swimming in every lake. If you’ve got one species firmly in mind, ask which water fits the job before choosing your peg. That’s a better starting point than assuming every pool holds the same mix.
Open matches run year-round, so competitive anglers aren’t limited to a summer diary. For everyone else, it’s worth asking about match bookings and available water when planning a session. The bait rules need a proper look before packing, too: only fishery-supplied feeder pellets are permitted, and the bans include boilies, floating baits and luncheon meat. In other words, don’t arrive with your usual carp bait bag and assume everything in it gets the nod.
The practical side has some cracking plus points. Nearly all pegs are accessible by car, which could save a fair bit of tackle-shifting faff. The clubhouse serves hot and cold food and drinks, and has ramps and an accessible toilet. Car access doesn’t tell you everything about the surface or layout of an individual swim, though. Anyone with particular mobility requirements should ask about a suitable peg rather than treating the whole venue as identical.
Before setting off, get the closing time straight. The venue says it opens until dusk, while published seasonal hours give fixed closing times; those don’t always line up. Night fishing permission isn’t confirmed either. Bread guidance also conflicts, so check before bringing it as bait. Booking enquiries go through the fishery, with an online enquiry form available too. A quick call should help sort the practical questions before you load the car.

Which baits work well on Blake Lake?
We've put together a full bait, rigs and seasons plan for Blake Lake further up this page — it's built from the lake's features and the venue rules. As a rule, match your approach to the stock: a solid food-source boilie and a tidy presentation will catch anywhere on the complex.

Capricious Lake
carp
A neat lead-clip rig over a light scattering of bait
When you don't know the lake well yet, the simplest approach is the best start: a reliable bottom bait rig on a clean spot, with just enough bait to get a bite without filling them up.
- Feel the lead down to find a firm spot, then clip up so you hit it every cast.
- Fish a single boilie or wafter with 20–30 freebies around it.
- Leave one rod roving and recast it to showing fish.

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

Our take on the feedback
Our read
Checked Sept '26 — “Blake Hall Fisheries near Cheadle has five waters, year-round open matches and a handy little pool for beginners. Add carp reportedly reaching 30lb, food in the clubhouse and car access to nearly all pegs, and there’s plenty to get stuck into.”
This is our own summary of recurring public feedback and the venue details we checked, not a copied customer review or a promise you’ll catch. Feedback changes, so we keep it separate from the Tackle Index score.
