Ashmansworthy Pools are three intimate waters stocked with hand selected, pristine and hard fighting Lana Springs Carp, overlooking a stunning valley and only a few miles from the dramatic North Devon coastline.
These beautiful waters have been sympathetically designed by the owners, Simon and Tini Pomeroy, who have been involved within the fishing and fishery management industry for well over two decades. Their intention has been to create a fantastic environment for like-minded anglers, as well as a haven for wildlife – with buzzards overhead and nature all around you. At night, as you wait in anticipation of your next run, you can sit next to one of the fire pits and watch the shooting stars, it really is a very special and immaculately kept venue for anglers to both enjoy and create those fishing memories that last a lifetime.
A huge amount of time, effort and passion has gone into these all-year-round exciting Carp waters with serious focus not only on their build but also their water quality, the strain of Carp and their accompanied feed programme. This gives the discerning angler an amazing experience, to actually be part of the fishery’s forward-thinking plan, within a well-kept natural and secure environment with the highest standards of carp, water quality and facilities.
The fishery record is currently a 38lb 9oz Common, and there are at least four Commons over the 30lb mark.
All three Pools are booked on an exclusive basis for a maximum of 2 anglers per Pool with 1 non-angling guest per angler and 1 well-behaved dog. There is the possibility of 3 anglers on Jack’s Pool by prior arrangement. So the price per session is for the whole lake, not per person.
Also, upon arrival, every booking will receive a FREE Welcome Pack with an RRP of almost £50 comprising : 2 x 400g Squabs, 1kg Method Mix/Groundbait, 1kg Fishery Pellet, 6 x Gripz Hair Rigs, 6 Stonze fishing weights and some pop-up foam to get you started.

We will do our upmost to cater for those anglers with disabilities within the limitations of the fishery. To discuss the options available please call us on: 01409 240042.
Nestled at the bottom of the valley this tranquil 1-acre Pool is aimed for the more experienced angler seeking the challenges that such a water gives.
Packed with features and varying depths, the water has 35 stunning and hand picked Lana Springs Carp that were initially stocked up to 25lb. With our proven, and very unique, feed programme and water quality maintenance we are already seeing healthy weight gains and we are already seeing our Carp moving forward with two Commons now going over the 30lb mark. Though it is never just about the size of our fish, but the expectation is to have fish hitting 40lb plus within the next three years! The lake record currently stands at 38lb 9oz Common, and they’re all gaining healthy weight!
With Jack’s Pool you also get the exclusive use of the Anglers’ Cabin with fridge, electric points, somewhere to store extra gear, charge your phone etc. Or just sit in the comfy chairs, with a brew, looking across this lovely water and see the fish roll and nature at its best.
