What Makes Arrow Meadow Different
Arrow Meadow Fishery stands out as the premier destination for carp fishing in the West Midlands, combining exceptional fish stocks with top-notch facilities and a vibrant angling community. Our commitment to quality, security, and conservation ensures every visit offers a rewarding and memorable experience for anglers of all levels.
Investment in Quality
Since 2016 we’ve invested more than £700,000 into our fisheries, reinforcing banks, installing fencing, upgrading swims, and feeding programmes. These improvements underpin strong fish growth and long-term angling success.
Premium Fish Stock
Working with leading UK suppliers such as VS Fisheries, Mark Simmonds, and AJS Fisheries, we’ve stocked over 1,100 carp. Today our waters hold around 600 carp over 20lb, with at least 40 fish exceeding 30lb.
Security and Facilities
Every site is fenced and monitored, with toilets, car parking, and well-kept swims. Shops and cafes at selected venues provide bait, tackle, refreshments, and advice.
Community and Camaraderie
Our carefully vetted membership ensures a strong sense of community. Visitors quickly find that anglers mingle freely, share tips, and enjoy the sport together. Respect, conservation, and relaxation define every Arrow Meadow experience.
Seasonal Carp Fishing in the Midlands
Spring and Summer
The best months for carp fishing are spring and summer, when fish feed actively and growth is strongest. Longer daylight hours mean more chances to connect with big carp across our lakes.
Autumn and Winter
Carp fishing doesn’t stop when the weather cools. Many anglers find success in the colder months. With the right tactics, hard work, and patience, winter sessions often deliver truly memorable captures.
