Pillaton Hall Farm boasts four well stocked fishing pools. Pillaton Pools were built by the
Pearce family in the late 1990s and have been regularly stocked with good
quality fish, sourced from some of the oldest lakes in the UK.
The site consists of four pools all stocked with a variety of species ranging
from 1 inch skimmer bream to 20lb monster carp. All the pools are open
365 days of the year.
All are welcome, young and old. Our pools offer disabled pegs and good
access around pools 1, 2 and 3. Pool 4 is about a 5 minute walk from the
car park near pool 2.
(Please note all children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult for
their own safety.)

Pool 1
Click Images to Enlarge
Pool 1 was originally built in 1960 as a water holding reservoir for Pillaton
Hall Farm and has a stream feeding it from the furthest end of the pool
and an over flow nearest the car park. The pool has a pump house and bore
hole feeding it, which in summer is used to also feed all the other pools
and aerate the water during hot periods. The pool is a shallow 3ft at the
furthest end from the car park but drops to between 10 and 15ft closer
at the car park end.

Pool 2

Pool 2 is the largest pool on the site but it is also the most open to
the elements. On a windy and cold day you will need some warm clothes.
The pool is situated at the far end of the site with an island in the middle
of it, making it an ideal pool on which to use a feeder. Around the margins
waters are shallow running from a 1ft gradually falling away 9 or 10 ft
around the island. This pool is a safer option for children as the margins
are shallower than the others. We thank you not use floating baits if wildlife
is present.

Pool 3

The smallest pool on the site is Pool 3 which is used as a stock pool.
However, Pool 3 also has a good range of larger fish and is the only pool
at present, to hold ghost carp. The deepest point is in the centre at 6ft
with about 3ft around its margins. Pool 3 is a nice pool on hot days as
you have some tree cover on one side.

Pool 4

If you fancy a quiet afternoons fishing and you don't mind a 5 minute walk,
then park on Pool 2's car park and follow the signs for Pool 4. This pool
is only 4 years old but has come on extremely well. Since it's a little
further from the car park it gets fished less often and the fish are in
fantastic condition. The end closest to the gate has a sunken island 2
ft below the surface dropping around the sides of the island to about 8ft,
which is the average depth of the pool .
