Leek & Moorlands Fishing Club

In the pool.

Heronmarsh Pool is a small pool located in Rudyard, Staffordshire. It was dug out and created by the Leek and Moorlands Fishing Club, and it covers an area of approximately 2 acres. The pool features two islands, providing opportunities for different fishing techniques.

The main species that can be found in Heronmarsh Pool are Common and Mirror Carp, with weights ranging from 10 to 30lbs. However, the wily nature of the fish often makes them a challenge to catch. Additionally, Pike and Bream are also present in good numbers, with pike weighing between 4 and 20lbs. Bream specimens over 10lbs can also be found.

Tench, Roach, Rudd, and Perch are other species stocked in the pool, offering variety for anglers of different preferences.

Leek and Moorlands Fishing Club also has access to a stretch of the River Dove. The River Dove is a renowned river for fishing, known for its abundance of Trout and Grayling. Anglers can enjoy the tranquil surroundings and the opportunity to catch these elusive fish in a beautiful setting.

The club's waters also include a stretch of the River Churnet. The River Churnet is perfect for those looking to fish for trout in a picturesque river. It offers a peaceful and serene fishing experience, surrounded by the stunning Staffordshire Moorlands.

The Leek and Moorlands Fishing Club is dedicated to providing a welcoming and inclusive community for anglers of all levels of skill and experience. The club organises matches and events throughout the year, allowing members to come together and enjoy the sport they love.

Founded in 1885, the Leek and Moorlands Fishing Club is proud to be one of the oldest fishing clubs in England. Despite facing some setbacks, the club has continued to thrive and grow. With ownership of all their waters, including the three pools and stretches of both the River Dove and River Churnet, the club is able to offer a diverse range of fishing opportunities to its members.

Whether you are an experienced angler or just starting out, the Leek and Moorlands Fishing Club welcomes you to join their community and enjoy the beauty of the Staffordshire Moorlands while pursuing your love of fishing.
