The full rundown on Cob House Country Park Fishery
Cob House Country Park Fishery sits on Worcester Road at Wichenford, near Worcester. It’s a mixed coarse venue with a proper match-fishing side, plus Victorian pools for pleasure sessions. That split is the useful bit when planning a day: you’ve got organised competition fishing on one hand and pleasure fishing without advance booking on the Victorian pools on the other. Pick the sort of session you fancy before loading the car.
The four main match pools are Wyatts, Chestnut, Laurel and Oak. Wyatts has 30 pegs, Chestnut has 28, Laurel has 22 and Oak has 18. Those numbers give you something concrete to work with if you’re sorting a club outing, rather than guessing how many anglers a pool might take. Acreages aren’t published, though, so don’t read peg counts as a guide to water area or how much room each swim gives you.
Across the fishery, the listed stock includes carp, bream, tench and other silverfish. That’s a cracking mixed-coarse line-up, but there isn’t a checked pool-by-pool breakdown here. Best not to pick a particular lake on the promise of tench or bream alone. Likewise, there’s no need to dress this up as a big-fish hunt: the useful picture is mixed coarse fishing, with both match and pleasure options rather than a stated specimen target.
For a straightforward pleasure visit, tickets are bought on arrival at the Cob Shop or café. The pleasure-fishing day ticket is £10, with a £9 concession ticket also listed; check who qualifies before banking on the discount. A second rod costs £5 extra and is permitted only on the Victorian pools. That’s worth sorting before you unpack two setups on a match pool. Victorian pleasure fishing needs no advance booking, keeping that side of the day nicely faff-free.
Open matches run on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Monday and Tuesday opening is for pre-booked matches, so those aren’t days to assume you can simply turn up for a pleasure session. Match-booking enquiries go to the fishery between 08:00 and 18:00. Fishing hours vary through the week and can change seasonally, so check before travelling. Also have a look at the downloadable fishery rules before settling on bait, hooks or tackle.
Off the bank, there’s free parking, free Wi-Fi and food at the Mayfly Café. The park also has an outdoor play area, resident animals and camping on site. Handy if your outing involves more than fishing. Dogs must stay on leads, and picnics aren’t permitted. Camping doesn’t establish permission to fish overnight, either: night fishing remains something to ask about, not assume.

Cob House Country Park Fishery FAQs
Where is Cob House Fishery?
On Worcester Road, Wichenford, near Worcester. The supplied map coordinates mark the café/reception area rather than a particular pool.
What fish are listed?
The fishery lists carp, bream, tench and other silverfish. A pool-by-pool species breakdown isn’t specified.
When are the open matches?
Weekly open matches run on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. For match-booking enquiries, call the fishery between 08:00 and 18:00.
Is there something for non-anglers?
There’s food at the Mayfly Café, an outdoor play area and resident animals, plus free parking and Wi-Fi. Camping is also available on site.
Where's the nearest tackle shop?
There's cob shop ticket sales on site, so you can grab bits on the day. For anything bigger, stock up before you leave home — or order online in advance.
Do I need to bring food?
There's mayfly café serving food listed, but opening times vary, so pack snacks and plenty of water just in case — especially on a long session.
Are there toilets on site?
Not that we've seen listed. The fishery doesn't say on what we've checked, so give them a quick call before you set off.
Is there parking, and how close is it to the swims?
Yes — free parking. Walks to the further pegs can be a trek, so a barrow helps.
What's the postcode for the sat nav?
WR6 6YE.
How much is a ticket?
Pleasure-fishing day ticket: £10; Concession pleasure-fishing ticket: £9; Second rod — Victorian pools only: £5 extra. Prices last checked 2026-10-05 — they can change, so check before you go.
Can I just turn up, or do I need to book?
Day tickets are available on Victorian pools. Busy weekends can fill up, so ring ahead if you've got your heart set on a swim.
What fish are in there?
Across the lakes you'll find carp. See each lake tab for which fish live where.
How many lakes are there?

Is night fishing allowed?
It depends — Night fishing is not advertised on the official fishing page; permission remains unconfirmed.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, it's required — Dogs must remain on leads within the park.
Are bait boats allowed?
We haven't seen a bait-boat rule listed. The fishery doesn't say on what we've checked, so give them a quick call before you set off.
Do I need barbless hooks?
Most UK fisheries prefer barbless or micro-barbed hooks — ask on arrival if unsure.
Do I need my own unhooking mat or cradle?
Bring one either way — most fisheries expect it and the fish deserve it.
Is it suitable for disabled anglers?
We haven't seen disabled access listed. The fishery doesn't say on what we've checked, so give them a quick call before you set off.
Do I need a rod licence?
Yes — anyone 13 or over fishing in England and Wales needs an Environment Agency rod licence (or Natural Resources Wales in Wales), on top of your fishery ticket.
When's the best time of year to fish here?
Late spring through autumn is prime for most species. Check our live weather edge for this venue before you go — it updates daily.

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.

Around Not published acres. 30 pegs on a main match pool..
Which baits work well on Wyatts?
We've put together a full bait, rigs and seasons plan for Wyatts 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.
When does Wyatts get busy?

What weather suits bigger catches on Wyatts?

Laurel offers 22 pegs and forms part of the main match-pool line-up. It has fewer pegs than Wyatts and Chestnut, though that doesn’t establish its acreage or swim spacing.
If that peg count fits your club, give the fishery a bell about bookings. Don’t assume the venue-wide stock list guarantees particular species in Laurel.

- Fish a single boilie or wafter with 20–30 freebies around it.
