About

Rosie's Retreat stands as Arrow Meadow's unique specialist venue, offering an extraordinary dual-species fishing experience across 1.2 acres of carefully managed clay-dug water within the prestigious Leigh Sinton complex. Set amidst one of the UK's largest Christmas tree farms in the shadow of the Malvern Hills, this venue provides a completely different angling challenge with 60 magnificent Wels catfish ranging from 20lb to a staggering 95lb alongside 25-30 resident carp between 12-25lb. The shallow depths ranging from 2-6ft create an intimate setting where epic battles with these freshwater giants become unforgettable experiences. This venue attracts specialist catfish anglers from across the UK seeking encounters with some of Britain's largest freshwater predators, with the 95lb record representing one of the finest specimens available to syndicate members. The clay-lined construction ensures stable water conditions year-round, while the modest depth profile means that hooked catfish have limited sanctuary, resulting in powerful, bulldozing fights that test tackle and angler skill to the limit. The resident carp population provides variety between catfish sessions, with steady action ensuring that rods rarely remain inactive for extended periods. Rosie's Retreat operates as an individual membership venue priced at £350 annually, making it accessible to specialist predator anglers while remaining separate from the main Super Ticket system. Five strategically positioned swims provide optimal coverage of the compact venue, each offering excellent potential for both species using adapted tactics and specialized tackle. Comprehensive facilities include secure fencing, toilet blocks, and dedicated car parking, while the venue's fully enclosed nature ensures both fish welfare and angler safety during intense catfish battles. This combination of monster catfish, resident carp, and professional management creates a truly unique angling destination that stands apart from traditional specimen waters.
