Docklow Pools is the oldest commercial fishery in the UK established back in 1972. It’s the home to a variety of picturesque fishing lakes for all types of angler.
Whether its pole fishing for silvers, rod fishing for carp or trying to hook into a giant on the Major Bill, we are sure you will find what you are looking for at Docklow Pools.
We are also proud to offer fishing on the River Wye, River Teme and River Lugg along several stretches that we can offer across the county.
Immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Docklow Pools, an paradise for anglers, nestled within a lush 100-acre valley.
Our distinct fishing pools are the heart of Docklow, each a serene haven where the water whispers tales of the one that got away.
The crown jewel is Major Bill, a sprawling 7-acre expanse teeming with diverse aquatic life, including the legendary 67lb catfish. This is only for residents to enjoy.
Each pool is cradled by nature, offering not just a fishing spot, but a place to connect with the outdoors, rekindle your passion for angling, and perhaps compete with fellow enthusiasts.
Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a curious novice, Docklow’s lakes offer a picturesque backdrop for unforgettable fishing adventures.
There is a nice mixture of barbel fishing and grayling trotting style. All are private and in beautiful peaceful countryside. The cost is included in your weekly ticket so there isn’t anything more to pay too.
There is no Day ticket option. Its residents or Members (Membership details contact the tackle shop on 01568 760544).
We will explain if you are after concrete platforms and easy access then Docklow River stretches are not suitable for you.
All the stretches are strimmed out pegs in June ready for new season. Some pegs are difficult to get to, and most pegs involve a walk.

Service was brilliant 👏 kPosted on Christian WolstencroftTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stayed in one of the fisher-cabins. The owner of the complex, Jonathan, i found to be ever willing to help and assist with any queries or requests directly, taking ownership and ensuring all your needs were catered for. Also the staff were friendly and supportive and very approachable. The cabin itself was extremely clean and well presented. The décor is a little dated, but in keeping with the beautiful surroundings Docklow Pools presents. The cabin was lovely and a home from home. Just a couple of niggles: 1. No internet. The complex is on a geographical dip. I could only find ONE BAR on the Three network. The main complex is serviced by a Starlink satellite internet service, but the area where my cabin was, like i say, of the four UK mobile networks, only Three had a service of just one bar. Jonathan was supportive.. he explained that a lot of their customers are men who want to go fishing on be 'off-grid' and 'not contactable'. While i understand that, in today's world one can always turn their phone off - and let their spouse/family know they will be doing this.. so i see no real reason for not supplying an internet connection to the cabins - it was a real pain in the rear for me as i had planned to do some work/study over my stay. Jonathan again kindly offered me an office in the main complex, but that just have worked as lugging all my paraphernalia there and back most days would be unrealistic. In the end i had to purchase (on the advise of someone Jonathan put me in touch with) a router which takes a sim card with screw on antennas. I then had to take out an unlimited data sim contract with Three. Just annoying to have to do in this day and age. 2. Freeview only There was an old Skybox, but the card wasn't recognised and you could only access the free channels. In the end i had to run a HDMI from my laptop, which was connected to the router, to access other channels. Highly recommend Docklow Pools.. great staff, location, accommodation and food... just behind on technology..Posted on Anthony WhitehornTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great pub on site with equally great food. The fishing isn't too bad either. Major bill is the speci lake with fish up to upper 30s and maybe a 40 swimming around. Few other lakes for the pleasure angler. Never really have a bad day's fishing, if there is such a thing.Posted on Clare BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've stayed number of times and will continue to do so as much as possible. We both absolutely love Dockow for the beautiful peaceful surroundings, excellent fishing and best tackle shop around. The accommodation is fabulous and The Fisherman's Arms amazing, excellent food and the most wonderful friendly staff. Just love it here ❤️Posted on Snoop CatTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
