Penners Pool at Clearwater Fisheries | Lancashire Carp Fishing

Clearwater Fisheries

About This Venue

Penners Pool is an exclusive booking venue on the Clearwater Fisheries complex in Lancashire. At approximately three acres, it offers an intimate and strategic angling experience for up to four anglers. The lake is specifically managed for specimen carp, with a focus on growing large fish rather than providing easy runs. The water is mature, with a diverse underwater topography that rewards thoughtful angling. Depths vary significantly, ranging from shallow marginal shelves of around three feet to deeper holes reaching twelve feet.

The lakebed is a mix of gravel bars, hard clay spots, silt pockets, and plateaus, providing a variety of feeding areas for the carp. Key features dominate the water, including a central island that is a primary patrol route and holding area for the fish. The margins are another critical feature, with extensive reed beds and overhanging trees providing natural cover and feeding spots. Stalking in these areas can be highly effective. The venue is not a runs water; it is a challenging environment where each capture is a significant achievement, best suited for experienced anglers looking for a private, high-quality social fishing experience.
