Hawk Lake & Tilley Pools
At Wem Angling Club, members have exclusive access to two private fishing waters: the historic Hawk Lake and the purpose‑built Tilley Pools. Each offers a unique experience — whether you’re chasing specimen carp, enjoying relaxed float fishing, or introducing someone new to the sport.
