The full rundown on Friezeland Pools

Quick heads-up first: the checked address for Friezeland Pools is Wellsborough Road, Market Bosworth, Nuneaton, CV13 6PD, opposite Bosworth Lakeside Lodges. That’s not Bewdley in Worcestershire, so get the postcode into the sat-nav before setting off. Saves a proper faff on arrival. The fishery is open all year, with summer hours of 7am to 7pm and winter hours of 7am to 6pm.

The official website describes five carp pools, so there’s a fair bit of choice depending on whether you fancy a day chuck, a match or a booked night session. The waters are mainly carp-focused, but there’s tench, bream, chub and some perch across the pools too. That gives you a bit of variety while keeping the main game firmly on carp. A valid Environment Agency rod licence is needed for anglers aged 13 or over.

Friezeland Pool is the oldest and most heavily fished lake, with 24 pegs and an approximate split of 90% carp and 10% tench. Weekend night fishing and match bookings are allowed. As with any busy water, it pays to have a look before choosing a swim if you can. Check the margins, any obvious cover and how other anglers are approaching their pegs, then keep the first session simple rather than chucking the kitchen sink at it.

Lower Friezeland Pool also has 24 pegs, with around 85% carp, 10% tench and 5% bream. Both matches and pleasure fishing are permitted, making it a handy option whether you fancy a relaxed day or organised bank time. Upper Friezeland Pool has 20 pegs and is described as the most popular night-fishing lake. It holds approximately 92% carp and 8% bream, so it’s the obvious pool to investigate if a booked overnight is your thing. Take a sensible selection of carp baits, terminal tackle and enough kit to cover a change of plan.

Pam’s Pool and Pats Pool are smaller waters, with 15 pegs each. Pam’s contains fish from about 2lb to 20lb, is approximately 8ft deep and has an estimated mix of 85% carp, 10% chub and 5% bream. Pats is approximately 95% carp, with 5% chub and bream. On a new venue, keep an eye on the margins and signs of fish before settling in. Ask the bailiff which areas have been producing, what bait is behaving best and whether any pool-specific advice applies. That little chat can save loads of wasted casts.

Day tickets cost £10 for adults, £8 for OAPs and £5 for juniors, with parking and toilet facilities included. Night fishing is available on Friday and Saturday nights only, costs £15 for 12 hours or £25 for 24 hours, and requires booking. Matches cost £8 per person and can be arranged by appointment any day of the week. Day fishing does not require booking. Bring your own landing net and unhooking mat, use barbless hooks no bigger than size 12, and remember that only one angler is allowed per peg, plus one guest. Two rods maximum per angler. No bread, floating baits, sacking or keep nets, and fish must be returned within five minutes of landing.
