Details
One of Greater Manchesters best-kept angling secrets, the Church Gardens Coarse Fishery in Bolton. The old mill lodge is lined by trees with straight forward access to pegs.
The shallower pegs near to the fishery entrance produce some huge bags in summer, which consist of mostly small Carp but also some large Tench, plus Roach, Perch and Skimmers. Deeper pegs always produce Roach and Skimmers with Tench and Crucians found in the margins. Top weights are Carp to over 20lbs (best in 2009 - 21lbs), Tench to 6lbs, Crucians, Roach, Perch and Bream. The fishery is regularly stocked with many species.
