MEADOWLANDS 

Situated an the outskirts of Coventry close to Ryton this site has two good sized pools which offer a wide variety of fishing. A former sand and gravel workings  there is no problem with water quality and fish are thriving in an ideal environment. There are 17.5 acres of water with the larger Lambsdown lake at 13.5 acres one of the largest commercial fishing lakes in the area. Carp are present in both waters but they are not the dominant species, which makes a change. Tench are in abundance in Lambsdown whilst the smaller Warren pool boasts the largest stock of still water barbel in the country. The waters used to be run by John Bloor who was no stranger to running fisheries having started his career with a short spell at Clifton lakes and then at Bishops Bowl. Never in full control of his previous effortswas able to bring his ideas forward and we are sure that it is step in the right direction.The fishery is now run a new management team. Not everyone wants to catch carp all the time, other species are welcome and add further to the delight of angling which is to have a doubt as to what is biting and to be surprised when you see what it is. A further water was added in. 1998 which caters only for match angling. called the Frog hall pool it is only about 4 miles from the Ryton site. A long lake of 2.5 acres it houses about 50 pegs so is well suited to quite big events as well as small clubs. Stocks of carp, tench, bream and roach and rudd have quickly established themselves and this water will come on song in '99. The Lambsdown lake has depths varying from 12 foot to 4 foot with an average of 8 foot. This is primarily a pleasure and club match lake, there are no opens; The stock of tench is very dense with fish in the 4oz to Ilb range but odd fish are much bigger with the best to date at 8.2.0. There is a ·good head of chub up to 4lbs although one was caught several seasons ago at 7.10.0.. There are some big carp with the best mirror at 26lb and a Grass carp at 23lb and a monster Ghost at 18lb. Crucians, roach rudd bream and perch make for a wide and interesting stock. All methods work here, the pole an obvious choice with so many tench well within the capabilities of the average pole. John does expect the 100lb barrier to be reached in 2000. The smaller Warren pool holds several hundred barbel between 2 and 4lbs but odd specimens go over 8lb so watch out. Plenty of crucians up to 2lb, same carp that average between 5 and 10lb, bream to 7lb and some roach make this also an appealing water. On site facilities include good car parking and a snack bar for hot and cold food and drink. Toilet facilities are being updated for 2000. Charges.
