Welcome to
Butlers Pool
Finally Open!
This pool is intended as our training pool for juniors, who fish free of charge up to the age of twelve. However they can only fish in the company of an elder.
We do not mean in the company of a fourteen year old, we mean Mum or Dad or Granddad / Grandma, whosoever must be an annual member of the SAF.
Some nine pegs exist and of those five are held over for training. Any SAF annual member can fish if they wish on a day permit basis like Radbroook Pool; simply ask for a permit, at Total Angling they cost £4.00.
We do ask however if the pool is heavily fished on a particular day and a junior and elder arrive, for you to make provision to assist that the youngster can get in and fish.
I am sure you understand the point we are making here.
The pool itself fishes very well indeed and has a good head of varied stock. Roach to 2 lbs, Perch to 3 lbs, Rudd to 1.5 lbs, reasonable Carp also show well. Unless you are very unlucky your junior should see a bag of a couple of dozen fish banked in a couple of hours.
In fact I would say the pool fishing is fantastic. Strangely between 2pm and 4 pm can be known to go off the feed, I think they have a tea break!
Our local G.H.O.F. team have made a couple of visits giving youngsters taster sessions. All enjoyed the experience and more importantly ALL caught many fish!
A word of caution
This water is very deceptive, the road end of the pool being 7 foot in depth and the opposite end being four foot six inches. These depths are achievable less than 3 feet from the waters edge.
How to get to this venue. Easy take the Ellesmere Road out of town up to the Albrighton Hall Hotel, (not the Albright Hussy) when you get to the Albrighton Hotel proceed for about 100 yards and you will see a phone box and a couple of white signs on your left and opposite you turn right into Plex Lane. Turn right into Plex Lane and follow the bends (take care here the road is tight) within 300 yards you come to a straight and half way up the straight you will see on the right a six vehicle lay-by and on the left a large oak tree in the field. Over the style which is elder friendly and you are fishing.
Don’t forget if you end up in the company of anglers that you feel are suspect or have no right to be fishing phone 07813544881 for an immediate Bailiff response. Abuse of this fishery will not be tolerated by the SAF or the Estate owners.
Fancy a fishery a bit more secluded a stones throw away then look at our Maids Fishery web page back on the fisheries tab.
This is an SAF created club within the SAF and looking for more members? The pool is a perfect natural fishery with some 15 or so pegs. Due to access not being in the favour of general public use it was decided to create a small club, thus overcoming the difficulties with general access.
New pegs were created on this small productive pool and once the ground recovers will be very attractive
