Why Choose Cheshire Oaks Fisheries

About Us

  Welcome to Cheshire Oaks Fisheries — a local, family-run fishery set in 13 acres of beautiful surroundings on the edge of Ellesmere Port and Chester.

We are proud to offer a friendly, community-focused venue for anglers of all levels, from experienced match anglers to beginners, families and children learning to fish. Whether you are looking for a relaxed pleasure session, a club match, professional tuition, or a well-stocked tackle shop, Cheshire Oaks Fisheries has everything you need for a great day on the bank.

We currently have three lakes open, each offering a different style of fishing. 

Our Lakes

  1. Match Lake
    Our main match lake is ideal for organised matches and regular anglers looking for a competitive day’s fishing. It is well stocked with Mirror Carp, Common Carp, F1s, Ide, Barbel, Bream and Perch, with fish ranging from approximately 1lb to 13lb.
  2. Silvers, Beginners & Children’s Lake
    A more accessible lake designed for beginners, younger anglers and those looking to build confidence. This is a great place for children and new anglers to learn the basics in a welcoming environment.
