Fishing restrictions and PSPO
To help protect the amenity, safety and enjoyment of Stowe Pool for all users, a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) applies to fishing activities at the site.
Summer (1 April – 30 September)
Fishing is permitted between 6.30am and 9pm only.
Winter (1 October – 31 March)
Fishing is permitted between 7.30am and 4.30pm only.
Other restrictions
- No night fishing is permitted.
- Please do not park on the grassed area around Stowe Pool as these are not parking spaces.
Anyone fishing at Stowe Pool must leave the area immediately if requested to do so by an authorised person, at any time and on any day.
Failure to comply with the PSPO is an offence and may result in a fixed penalty notice or a fine of up to £1,000 upon conviction.
SSSI restrictions
It is forbidden to introduce new fish into Stowe Pool as it is a SSSI site and doing so can introduce infection into the fish population and lead to fish deaths.
