The full rundown on Cob House Country Park Fishing Lakes

Cob House Country Park, on Worcester Road in Wichenford, Worcestershire, is a proper all-round coarse venue with both match and pleasure fishing on the menu. The fishery is described as well stocked with carp, bream, tench and other silver fish, so there’s plenty to get stuck into whether you fancy building a mixed bag or chasing something a bit more substantial. Not just a one-trick carp puddle, then.

The match side is spread across four main pools. Wyatts has 30 pegs, Chestnut has 28, Laurel has 22 and Oak has 18. Wyatts is described as holding predominantly carp and silvers, while the wider fishery list includes roach, rudd, perch, chub, eel and trout alongside the carp, bream and tench. That’s a decent spread of species, and gives match anglers a few different pool setups to consider when booking or entering an event.

For a more traditional day, the Victorian pools are the ones to look at. They’re particularly associated with natural pleasure fishing, which should suit anglers who enjoy keeping things simple and watching the swim develop. A sensible starting point on a new venue is to have a good look at the margins, any visible cover and areas showing signs of fish before committing the feed. Keep the first few casts tidy, stay mobile if bites don’t arrive and let the fish tell you what they want.

Pleasure fishing is available without advance booking, with tickets bought on arrival at The Cob Shop or The Mayfly Cafe. The standard day ticket is £10, while the concession ticket is £9. A second rod costs £5, although that option is only allowed on the Victorian pools. Bring the usual bits for a mixed coarse session, including barbless hooks, and make sure every rod is attended while a baited hook is in the water.

The weekly open-match programme runs on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, subject to the fishing calendar. The four match pools can also be booked for matches, with enquiries with the fishery or admin@cobhouse.co.uk. Ordinary fishing is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, though pre-booked matches may operate on those days. If you’re heading over for a pleasure session, the official hours listed are 8:00am to 4:00pm on Wednesday, 8:30am to 4:00pm on Thursday and Friday, 7:30am to 5:00pm on Saturday, and 7:30am to 4:00pm on Sunday.

There’s free parking at the country park, plus The Mayfly Cafe, The Cob Shop and on-site toilets listed. The wider park has outdoor grounds, walks, animals and a play area, handy if non-anglers are tagging along. Dogs are allowed around the wider park on leads, but fishing-area restrictions are worth checking first. Before travelling, confirm the opening time, as the official pages differ slightly and hours can change. You’ll also need an Environment Agency rod licence, and fish must stay in the fishery rather than heading home in the keepnet.
