Fishing
 

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?:)

Re: Fishing
 

Sounds like he wants to camp at the waters edge. Take it spud you are on about course fishing.

Re: Fishing
 

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.:)

Re: Fishing
 

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.

Re: Fishing
 

Rakes Foot (or brook) Reservoir just through Abbey Village.. License obtained from the pub.

Re: 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.

p.s. don't tell em all, we won't get a peg come school holidays!!:cool:

Re: Fishing
 

:eek:
my brain hurts

are we speaking in code or is everyone mashed???

Re: Fishing
 

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

Re: Fishing
 

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?:confused:

Re: Fishing
 

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.

Re: Fishing
 

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!

Re: Fishing
 

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

Re: Fishing
 

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.

Re: Fishing
 

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

Re: Fishing
 

Hey, what about the lodge in Clayton .. I live 20 yards from the edge? Think Accrington Fishing Club have the rights. Will make you a brew .. you'll have to bring yer' own tea bag though, only good at coffee.

Re: Fishing
 

Thanx for the offer, i do believe it's called super st. and belongs to hyndburn n b.b club.

If the offer's still open in a few months time, a brew would be great, how much are the bacon butties? us lads start early, could well be a nice little money spinner if the fishing goes well!:cool: :rolleyes: :)

Re: Fishing
 

Looks like the Nursery are using the land for tipping, as you drive past and look towards the path which used to lead round the top of the water (near to the road) has a load of ?????? piled, course it could be top soil ready for landscaping.......

Re: Fishing
 

Cheeky B**ger .. still not a bad idea, eh ? As long as you don't mind the fat grilled crispy and sometimes black :rolleyes: >>>>>> off to supermarket to stock up with bacon for freezer.

Please don't give left overs to the ducks though, they fat enough.

Re: Fishing
 

can i come as well katex :rolleyes: not for the fish! but the bacon butts and fat ducks will go down a really treat, :p

Re: Fishing
 

Watch out for that bird flu...I won't be eating anything foul for the time being!!

Not to mention her cooking!! Ha!:)

Re: Fishing
 

Yah right, will definitely be crispy duck .. leave 'em alone anyway, love my ducks .. give me hours of pleasure .. soooo funny.
Staggers ? Tomato/Brown sauce ? :) 10p. extra of course.

Re: Fishing
 

my brother try to buy the lease on this to re-open it as a fishery with his mate but he said asians have the lease but the garden centre own it........the asians want 8 grand a year lease apperantly!!!!

Re: Fishing
 

Bass season opened on the 24th of June:theband: ... and this year, as an official OLD FART, I now fish for free in Ontario, anywhere, in one of the finest fishing areas on the planet:D

Re: Fishing
 

Is that with all the spinners & plugs & suchlike, personally don't think much to that. Sooner be sat with a rod & line using a waggler/pole, sitting back & taking in the countryside. :)

Re: Fishing
 

Could never actually see the point in the hobby of drowning worms on a piece of string:D

Re: Fishing
 

Ah Mate, there's a whole lot more to it than that, specially if you're away night fishing. :D Peace & tranquillity (no wifey), at one with nature (getting stung, bitten & savaged by bugs & biddies), Good company, telling lies & quaffing Ale (it doesn't get much better) & all that without putting a line in the water ! ;) :D

Re: Fishing
 

Well I have to admit to doing very similar things when I was in my youth Dave, it was called Windy Harbour every weekend in the summer mate:D

Re: Fishing
 

You had to bring this one up didn't you, I,m supposed to be in Alaska for five days starting today halibut fishing but the better half is sick so I,m playing doc.
