Rookery Pool

Details

Rookery is an excellent water, and is an ideal location for a Tench session. All pegs are facing the golf course, or on the 'island', where there are just two pegs.

This water is right in the middle of Vale Royal Abbey Golf Course. This means careful access to the waters, around the tee and fairway of the seventh hole. Don't walk on the fairway as we'll get complaints and you may get a bang on the head from a white missile. The track to the water is quite a distance and once again, it's uphill at the end of the day.

Please be very conscious of the litter issues, as we are granted access to the water from the golf club and they are concerned about litter and indeed other aspects of our presence. We have lost night fishing rights already because of the litter issue and may lose the whole pool if we don't start acting more carefully. It's in your hands!

There are more than a fair share of water insects around, so if you're susceptible an insect repellant might be a good idea.
