Set in an idyllic location in the heart of the Worcestershire Countryside, and fed by natural spring water, Shatterford Lakes offers perfect fishing conditions for beginners and enthusiasts alike.
Due to the depth of the water it’s a venue that fishes well through the colder months as well as when it’s warmer, and it’s especially noted as providing probably the very best catfish sport in the Midlands, with a fishery record standing at over 70lb.
There are also many specimen carp and grass carp to go at, plus the chance of some incredible bags of bream and big roach. Anglers with limited mobility are well catered for and several disabled anglers, including those with hearing/speech disabilities, have become regular customers over the years. Under the ownership of Ivan Norman since January 2006, the fishery is open throughout the year, 7 days a week, including Bank Holidays, with the exception of Christmas Day.
Rod numbers are strictly limited to avoid over-crowding and pre-booking is advisable on both Eric’s and Masters lakes to avoid disappointment. Overnight and longer stays are a popular choice.
OPENING TIMES
We open at 8am on weekdays and around 7.30am weekends. There’s a strict 8pm gate closure in summer months and we close at dusk in winter
