Blithfield Anglers is a trout fly fishery at Blithfield Reservoir close to the village of Abbots Bromley in the heart of rural Staffordshire.
The 790 acre reservoir, owned by South Staffs Water, offers over 11 miles of superb bank trout fishing, as well as excellent ‘top of the water’ sport from a fleet of motor boats and is a popular site in the Midlands for fly fishing. The entire Blithfield Estate has been designated with SSSI Status which means it is recognised as a very special place with parcels of ancient woodland, a wide variety of flora and fauna including wading and over-wintering wildfowl and it is a protected habitat.
Blithfield Anglers is open for full day or flexible 4 hour permits as well as offering a range of season permit options and benefits . Contact us for more information.

Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) – Preventing the Spread
For all anglers it is important to have an awareness of plants and animals that cause damage to our natural ecosystems and pose a threat to our water bodies. These are known as Invasive Non-native Species, or INNS.
INNS like Himalayan Balsam, Zebra Mussels and American Signal Crayfish can be easily spread by damp equipment and clothing.
When visiting Blithfield, please remember to ‘Check, Clean, Dry’ –
Check – your equipment and clothing after leaving the water for mud and any aquatic plants
Clean – equipment and clothing as soon as possible and before leaving the site
Dry – everything off for as long as you can before using again
