Jacob's View Fishery (A51 Nantwich Cheshire)

[Nel]

Has anyone fished a place called Jacob's View Fishery. Its located about 3 miles outside Nantwich on the A51. I have been to look at the place a few times but there never seems to be anyone fishing it. It looks like its an old quarry or gravel pit and looks very mature with plenty of vegitation and features. I guess it covers about4 or 5 acres. Theres a sign saying days tickets and what the rules are. I have asked at local tackle shops who know where it is but don't know what species it contains or how it fishes. Any info would be appreciated.

I live near there mate, and have never even seen or heard of it. Which part of the A51 is it? The Chester side or the A51past Stapeley heading towards Stone?

 

[Nel]

EC. Its on the A51 past Stapeley heading towards stone. Theres a big sign on left. Theres a track which goes down to it and before you reach it theres what seems to be a quarry which has a number of earth moving type machines.

Not owned by a certain FM member is it by any chance?

 

[Peter Jacobs]

Graham,

If it was then it certainly wouldn't be open to the general public - FM members by invitation only.

If, or when, I procure my fishing heaven then it will most definitely be like this:

Idyllic isn't it Peter but I'm afraid I couldn't afford the necessary clothing let alone the fortunerequired to fish there - but - its nice to dream and dreams as we know rarely mimic reality do they?

Jacobs View is a strange place, fished it once or twice. The lane to enter it would lead you to think you are going to a tip... Its hardly prolific for a day ticket water but there are some good bream and tench in ..apparently!

Feeder venue that you have to fish at distance as the fish dont come in close in.

There are far better waters in the vicinity as Eddie C will confirm. Gorsty Hall worth a look.

I've not fished any of the day ticket waters round here Pete.

 

[Peter Jacobs]

Graham,

I was there yesterday for a little 'recce' and their prices are pretty much the same as other beats on the Test. It is the old addage of 'you get what you pay for' really, and a half-season rod works out to around £100 a day, for 15 days fishing including 4 guest tickets per season.

I must say that the river there is just beautiful, and I am seriously considering it for this season.

It was originaly a trout fishery. I went to have a look a few years ago and wasnt impressed. I got the impression it was a hole in the ground with fish stocked.

Even when it was a trout fishery I saw nobody about.
