CLIFTON FISHERIES
Please
note this is now a season permit only water.
A
feature of Angling today. The management have created 7 sizeable lakes and
a good length of the River Avon which forms one of the lakes
boundaries. The lakes have a good range of fish of all sizes and types.
The largest lake is called the Serpentine and this can house matches of
around 60 to 70 anglers. There are some very big carp in here and local carp
anglers do spend some time trying to catch them. There is also a big stack of
smaller carp plus loads of bream and roach, some good tench and even barbel
which again grow to a good size. Other species are crucians, chub and perch The
Volcano pool, so named because its surrounded by hills, holds around 20
anglers and has a good stock of carp and roach. this is the deepest pool on site
with depths up to 15 feet. The Reed pool is a shallow lake, again around
20 pegs, and here you can catch good carp and some big bream as well as roach
and perch. The Jurassic pool has some big carp in it but also holds some
good crucians and rudd plus the usual roach and bream. Twin Peaks
will become the fisheries main big fish water. This very interesting pool houses
all species but you can expect some big bream to turn up. Finally on the lake
front there is the Horseshoe, name derived from it's shape. There are
some very good carp in here but recent flooding of the lake by the adjacent
river has seen some fish losses on this pool. The least fished pool on the
complex its still worth a visit for some tranquil fishing that can throw up some
very good sport. The old railway cutting has been renamed the Canal
Cutting simply because it is canal width and depth. This has recently been
transformed into a match type water with loads of roach and silver fish like
rudd and chub and small bream. It did house same quite big carp and chub but
these have been moved to other pools. There are also some useful tench and these
are quite handy in matches. This will become a very popular club match water for
around 24 anglers. Access is very good with no one having to walk more than a
few yards. Finally there is the river length which has around 60 pegs on it. The
stretch was dredged out in the first stages of the site development and is very
deep for such a small river. Recent improvements to the bank with fishing
stations has helped it be more fishable. There is little flow in Summer but in
Winter it is hoped that recent stockings will make this a worthwhile part of the
fishery. There are plenty of roach and chub, a few pike and some carp that
escaped when the River was subjected to severe flooding in April '98. The site
has excellent close parking to all the waters.
