Bishampton Angling Club Lakes

Bishampton Angling Club Lakes, commonly known as Jubilee Fishery, was a historic three-pool club water near Bishampton. It should now be treated as a former venue, with access and fishing rights needing a check before anyone travels.

“5.9/10 — Reported match weights and a former 163lb 1oz venue record suggest strong historic coarse-fishing potential.”

The lowdown

Jubilee Fishery was the club-water setup near Bishampton, Worcestershire, tucked off Naunton Beauchamp Road. Evesham Jubilee Angling Society ran and maintained it from around 2002, with the venue growing from one pool into a three-lake complex. A proper little coarse-fishing setup, then, with plenty of history behind it.

  • 3 lakes: Jubilee Pool, Withies Pool, Third pool
  • Fish: carp, crucian, bream, rudd

The full rundown on Bishampton Angling Club Lakes

Jubilee Fishery was the club-water setup near Bishampton, Worcestershire, tucked off Naunton Beauchamp Road. Evesham Jubilee Angling Society ran and maintained it from around 2002, with the venue growing from one pool into a three-lake complex. A proper little coarse-fishing setup, then, with plenty of history behind it.

The pools were generally known as Jubilee Pool, Withies Pool and a third pool that wasn’t named. Reported fish included carp, crucian carp, skimmers, bream and rudd, so there was a decent mix for match anglers and general coarse fishing. Different pools can fish very differently, of course, so finding out which areas are available would be job one before packing the gear.

Crucians were a notable part of the Jubilee story. Around 200 young fish were stocked through a national conservation project, followed later by roughly 300 more. That’s a cracking bit of work for a much-loved coarse species. Think light, tidy tackle, small baits and a good look around the margins if access is confirmed. Rudd, skimmers and bream also gave anglers other options when the carp weren’t playing ball.

The venue hosted club matches and open matches, with a highest reported match weight of 163lb 1oz. Weights of 30lb to 40lb were also reported from many pegs in better years. That suggests the lakes could get properly on the munch when conditions lined up, although match weights are never a promise for an ordinary session. Bring a couple of approaches, stay mobile where allowed and keep an eye on shallow water, cover and the margins.

Membership was the traditional way in. During its active period, the club had more than 100 members, and members could fish the water as often as they wished under the arrangement. Historical membership value was described as less than £5 per month, but that isn’t a current price. It was not presented as a normal public day-ticket fishery, so don’t just turn up with a seatbox and expect to fish.

The key bit now is access. The club reportedly gave up Jubilee Fishery in 2022 and later continued as a roving angling club rather than running these lakes. This should therefore be treated as a historic Bishampton Angling Club/Jubilee Fishery listing, not a confirmed currently open venue. Before travelling, contact the society and ask who controls the water, whether fishing is allowed, which pool is available and what ticket or membership rules apply.

No current public day-ticket price, lake dimensions, opening hours, season dates, night-fishing permission or individual booking setup was confirmed. The historic contact listed was Phil Seedhouse with the fishery. The address was The Fishery, Naunton Beauchamp Road, Pershore, Worcestershire, WR10 2LG. If access is confirmed, take versatile coarse kit, sensible margin tackle and enough bait options to cover carp, silverfish and crucians.

We're not sure on ticket prices here — we couldn't find reliable, up-to-date prices online, so give the fishery a ring or check their own site before you go.
