Fishery Information
Located in the city of Lichfield, Stowe Pool was constructed in the year 1856 by the South Staffordshire Waterworks Co. as a supply of water for the Black Country area in the county of West Midlands.
However, beginning in 1968, the reservoir has served as a public asset, providing access to a variety of recreational opportunities like fishing, angling, and even a place to have picnics. It is also a site of special scientific and historical interest (SSSI).
The Lichfield District Council owns and manages the pool, which has dimensions of around 1,500 feet in length, 330 feet in width, and depths that range from 3 feet to 21 feet.
There are 90 pegs spaced 11 meters apart, and it is home to a diverse population of fish, including carp, bream, tench, and roach.
