Carneys Pools

Dug out in the summer of 1987 by the late Harry Carney.

Harry was a builder in the nearby town of Rugeley, Staffordshire, and it was with his foresight that has made the Carney Pools such a beautiful and tranquil setting.
The pools were landlocked until January 2002, when they were put on line.

The gates open at 7:00am and close at dusk.


DAMSEL POOL :
1.3 acres, with a small island at the top end. There are 23 pegs on this pool, of which two are for disabled anglers. The depth is between 4 and 6 feet. The pool boasts both Common and Mirror Carp, Bream and Gudgeon.

DRAGON POOL :
1.4 acres, and has islands at both ends. The pool is fed by a run off waterfall from Damsel Pool. The pool is stocked with both Mirrors and Commons, Chubb, Rudd and again the humble Gudgeon.

The pools are situated about half a mile from the A51 between Rugeley and Colwich. Leave the A51 at Wolseley Bridge by the canal bridge heading towards Colwich/Lt Haywood/Gt Haywood, and go right just after the speed camera. Follow this road and go straight across at the crossroads up Bishton Lane. As soon as you go over the railway bridge, turn right. At the end of the track, you will see the fishery gates on your right-hand side
