The good weather at the moment makes me want to get the old angling gear out, but beinhg a still water fisherman i might just l,eave it a few more weeks!

Does anyone know of any decent day ticket waters within half an hours drive from accy?

when the weather warms up
bradshaw fisheries bolton lodge number 4
full of carp and silver fish best to try mid-week check for matches before travelling.

also partridge lakes, cultcheth, nr risley warrington evan if the carp dont feed in the cold the chub and barbel usually do. also 1 lake stocked with f1 hybrids which will feed all year round,choice of seven lakes,

weekends theres a refreshment bar, its a little bit further away but can be well worth it in the winter. hope this is a help.
ps im not the angler but ive asked my hubby whos into match fishing.

Thanx for the the feedback(bar timmins!), will make an effort to try waters new.

Hynburn n Blackburn AA was great value for money for the season.
They still have kinda untouched waters like the the slate pits and clarendon st. where the fish(some decent quality) take all types of bait, these little waters can sometimes make a rite good days fishing.

maybe I'm showing my age here, but is Rishton paper mill lodge still a local spot ?.

spud · 17-02-2006, 10:25

It is, I don't know who has it now though.
Accrington and district used to have it until the land owners upped the rent. I was told they netted it 3 times and theres still loads of fish in!

Does anyony know whats going on with the paper mill?

stanerlee · 17-02-2006, 12:38

si, good to see you back online bud. i'll come fishing with you. p.s. i think zutons are well on way to sell out.

spud · 17-02-2006, 19:57

Next time we're goin fishin bud i'll let you know, it's gonna be a few weeks yet though! I will post a thread in advance so if anyone wants to come they can do.

Nice 1 for the tickets bud cant wait!

The paper mill lodge is now owned by Park View Nursery and is all fenced off, no official fishing allowed.

Thanx for that, just makes me wonder what they are planning to do with it. I have been told it is on the greenblt so no chance of housing, even so they would have to drain and leave it for ten years eitherway!

I do think in the right hands it could make a cracking litte day fishery.

I'd like to get to the bottom of this one. Any info, or rumors will be much appreciated. Thanks.
