Hi, I'm asking for any info on Crabtree Lakes Shropshire.
It's a new water only 2:5 acres, and only 4 anglers so looks good for a social.
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Steve

Hi Steve,
I was looking into this place myself. 99% sure it is a scam. No address and when i have contacted them for a postcode they have swerved the question multiple times. Had my doubts with the prices as it looks too good to be true. The facebook page was created in July 23 and theres absolutely no information about the pool online. I spent hours trying to find the pond on google maps and i cant find it anywhere. Almost booked a week in December as-well. Definitely a scam.

On the website it says it's near wenlock edge
If you go on google maps these are a couple of lakes nearby.

This means nothing, there are no lakes that resemble the lake that's shown on the website in that area. Also the pictures shown are definitely not the same pond as described. 👍

Thanks lads for your info. We've decided not to book. Cheers

It is a strange one the price sounds to good to be true and you would expect pictures of the fish caught to increase demand. Now its on swimbooker surely it cant be a scam , its showing fully booked for next few weeks so hopefully one of those will be a forum member

I'm baffled why somebody would post on a internet forum for all to see, that something is a scam. It's bordering on liable. You obviously know nothing about it, but that doesn't stop you making entirely false claims about somebody else's business - as in their livelihood! Why?!?
For the record, Crabtree Pool definitely isn't a scam. I have no links at all to the owners, but I was fishing there with a couple of mates last weekend. It's a very pleasant little pool, immaculately kept. Not the easiest water, but then not the hardest either. Despite bloody difficult weather conditions (8 degrees C mid morning on 15th June, combined with torrential rain!) we managed a few between us to low 20's. It's a perfectly nice carp water.
