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.
