Lake Stats

Lake Size

Wessels Pool spans approximately 2 acres, divided into two exclusive 1-acre swims — offering true solitude for each angler.

Catch Records

Mirrors to 35lb+ & Commons to 32lb + mixed in with some fully scaled, zip linears, a pure leather and few orange ones to add some variety. With most fish over 20lb, there is some great sport to be had. Some fish remain uncaught — including suspected larger specimens.

Exclusivity

Each swim is reserved for one angler and their guest only. You’ll never share water with strangers. If your partner is fishing also we allow for 3 rods max per tipi.

The Pool

Wessells pool. Now 2 acres in size, this pool started life as two ponds and was dug into one in 2020, rested for four years before opening to ensure a healthy, low-pressure environment.

Fish Stock

Stocked in January 2021 with 160 fish, many already over 20lb at stocking, the lake was not fished for four years to allow the fish to mature. Now boasting 150 hard-fighting mirrors, commons, fully scaled, zip linears, a few orange ones and a pure leather, the stock is mainly fish from 25lb upwards so offers great sport.

Depth Range & islands

Depths range from 3ft to 10ft, with varied bottom features to explore. The main depth in the lake is around the islands of the original two ponds with around 10ft in this area. The main body of water ranges from 3ft to 6ft with a fairly uniform clay bottom with some gravel areas. In mid summer there are few patches of weed which the carp love, No blue dye, just a natural habitat.

Local Area

Being situated in south Somerset and on the edge of the Somerset levels there is an abundance of things to do, places to eat and some of the best pebble beaches in the country, all within a 20 mile radius, the fishing is just the icing on the cake.

We also have some of the best cycling areas around due to the fact we have very few hills, with only small inclines cycling is a real treat in this area. We have pubs, restaurants, cafes, takeaways and shops all within walking distance or a 5 min drive, yet the pool feels like its in the middle of nowhere, just the way we like it!!
