Located in the picturesque village of Shrewley in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, our fishery is made up of 9 unique pools.
We have been open to the public for over 20 years and stocks tens of thousands of fish including many varieties of carp, chub, tench, bream, roach, perch, etc. Each pool ranges in size and style and giving you over 300 pegs to choose from. Each peg has been designed to give anglers something to fish to. There are a number of designated disabled pegs and for those that require assistance reaching their pegs, a member of staff is always on hand.
Our onsite tackle shop has been expanded and stocks virtually all types of bait and tackle. For example, we have poles starting from £30, landing nets with handles from £10 and keepnets from £20.

FISH-O-MANIA 2020
CONGRATULATIONS TO PAUL BLINKHORN FOR WINNING THE
FINAL FISHOMANIA 2020 QUALIFIER AT TBF
Fish ‘O’ Mania, now over a quarter of a century old, is one of the great summertime sporting occasions. Known as the ‘FA Cup of Fishing’, the competition involves 24 anglers who have qualified through heats across England and Europe, fishing off for a massive £50,000 first prize.
July 2019 saw the record-breaking 26th edition of the world's No.1 coarse fishing match. Televised live from start to finish, the competition has been a regular fixture in the British sporting calendar since its inception in 1994. Broadcast for 5 1/2 hours live, Sky Sports give fishing the big-time makeover as their big budget state-of-the-art production highlights fishing in a way unrivaled in televised sport.
The event gains much of its excitement by abandoning the traditional weigh-in at the conclusion of the match, and instead features weigh-ins every 30 minutes which gives the event a changing leader board that makes the action easy to follow.
Fish’O’Mania was a success from the start as the inaugural event at Mallory Park was won by Ian Turner of Worksop. With 22 qualifying matches across England starting in the spring, a total of 2,600 anglers enter but there will be only one winner who takes home the £50,000 top prize.
We are excited to yet again be hosting Fish-O-Mania Qualifiers at Tunnel Barn Farm on 14/03/20 and now (hopefully) 10/06/20. Tickets are only available from the Angling Trust Website HERE.
Please note: Anglers must have individual membership of the Angling Trust available on 0343 507 7006 (option 1) or on the Angling Trust website click here. Anglers are also reminded they must be 16 years of age and above in order to take part in the main event.
