Has anyone fished here? Think it’s towards Widnes thinking of joining next year and going for the bream.

St Helens mate. On the side of the East Lancs Road from Liverpool to Manchester. Quite a way from Widnes.

Having formerly only been used to fishing rivers and loughs in Co Down, where another angler, certainly on the loughs, was a rarity, I once went in the mid 1960's with my uncle Gerry to his favourite fishing venue: Carr Mill dam. Gobsmacked I was! Anglers just yards apart in every direction. I couldn't believe it, and the image is still so strong. On the trout lough nearly a mile long I fish now, I regularly have the choice of eight club boats and the water to myself as I avoid the weekends and evenings. Happy days.

In terms of lines and rigs what are people using?

You can catch Roach and skimmers on the whip or various tip work with method and small wafters or more traditional worm and maggot/caster. There is a tackle shop on the other side of the East Lancs in chain lane St helens tackle and bait, if you speak to Steve Hammy in there he will put you right and sell you a St helens AA card as there are no day tickets, their card covers several waters in the St Helens area but only runs until the end of this year.

How much is the card now.

About £30 for seniors covers several local waters.
