About This Fishery

Voted Angling Times Fishery of the Year 2023, Moorlands Farm is one of the original pioneering commercial fisheries, first opening in the 1990s and now widely regarded as the premier Midlands match venue. Set on 16 acres on the A449 between Kidderminster and Worcester, the complex offers six well-stocked lakes with over 180 pegs, an 80-seat cafe and bar (The Little Muntjac) and an on-site tackle shop. Now managed by world-class match angler Grant Albutt.
