Tench fishing in North Staffordshire

[Stokie63]

I'm looking for some advice on tench fishing in North Staffordshire. Not looking for massive fish just would like the chance to catch a few, in nice surroundings.

Had a look at Stone private and Fenton and district. Both clubs websites say their waters contain tench. Had a look round dilhorne nice looking pools but there were a lot of people fishing. Looked at stones waters but seen no one fishing, so couldn't ask anyone. Really looking for a smallish pool which isn't heavily fished.

Hope someone can help. Thanks

Thanks Sean. Joined Stone private mainly because their pools are local, still not seen anyone fishing them. Only really after a bit of sport till the river season start.

Rode Pool used to have a reputation for Tench. I havent lived in the area for a good few years so I'm not up to speed on the fishing. It was a day ticket water when I fished it.

Hi Stokie,

Unfortunately I do not know your area but when looking in my area at the Fisheries website in the past I've found waters which I didn't know existed. Might be worth a shot.

I'll get hold of Trogg and Stewart Bloor - Stafford and Wolverhampton based respectively. Stewart is especially relevant as a specimen angler with a track record for tench.

Thanks all for your advice. Think I'm sorted now.

Tried one of Stone privates pools yesterday morning from first light caught a few tench to 4lb then at lunchtime moved to one of Burslem Izaak waltons pools which is only 5 minutes drive from the stone pool. caught about a dozen carp to 13lb before dark. Excellent day should keep me entertained until June 16th
