Wasperton, UK

Fishery Information

This fishery is run by Leamington Angling Association.

College Pool in Wasperton is a deep lake originally excavated for sand and gravel. The pool offers a variety of fish species, including roach, perch (up to 3lbs), bream (over 6lbs), mirror carp, skimmer bream, and a few tench. The top layers of water start to warm up in spring, leading to increased feeding activity among the fish.

What size do the fish go to?

The fish in College Pool can reach impressive sizes. Mirror carp are mentioned to be in double figures and known for their hard fighting. Perch can reach up to 3lbs, while bream can exceed 6lbs. The size range of other species, such as roach and skimmer bream, is not specified.

What tactics work well?

Regular feeding is emphasized as the key to success at College Pool. Maggot and caster approaches are mentioned to score well, along with a hemp and groundbait approach for skimmer bream. Fishing close to the steep sides of the pool, where fish gather for natural food, is recommended. During the summer, fishing with a waggler or pole rig set at 4 or 5 feet deep and regularly feeding maggots can be effective for catching perch, skimmers, and roach.

What facilities are on site?

It is advisable to contact the fishery directly or consult additional resources to obtain specific information about the available facilities, such as parking, toilets, or other amenities.

Is parking available?

Parking is available at the Leamington Angling car park next to College Pool. Anglers are requested to ensure that they close the gate upon entry and exit.
