Day and season tickets

Following ongoing works to Coombe Pool Reservoir, and various additional works that have been identified as essential, we regret that the fishery will not be opening for the 2025 to 2026 fishery season. These ongoing and additional works are required to ensure that we remain compliant with the Reservoir Safety Act 1975.

Although we appreciate that this will be disappointing for many anglers who enjoy fishing at Coombe, safety must be, and always has been, the priority.

If you wish to return your fishery key from the previous season and receive your deposit back, please contact the Information Centre on 02476 453720 (between 10am to 3pm) or email coombe@coventry.gov.uk [mailto:coombe@coventry.gov.uk]. We can then arrange a suitable time for returning the key and your deposit.
