True very true. There is no wayn that i could sit there knowing it is not perfect.

None of the others make it sit that way. Just when using that. I dont know whether it could be shot that is making the hooklink twist im not sure just going to have to play around with it i think. Would it matter in hooking potential??

Hi All, First of all i dont usually post articles or ask questions on here so go easy! Recently i have been experienceing problems with my pop up rigs. I use a standard Knotless Knot, wide gape hook, bit of silicone on the bend and some shrink tubing. i also add a small shot just below the tubing to counter balance. I have noticed that when testing, the hook point seems to be pointing towards my lead (hope that makes sense). So instead of it kicking away from the lead it points to the lead. So in essence making the rig useless. In other words it twists around. I am actually tying a rig with the new snails and it also happens with the sweetcorn and boilies aswell when making rigs. Can anyone shed a bit of light on this for me to help solve this problem. Thanks Martin

Yeah well i were getting picks ups but nothing concrete to hit any (it might have been the feathered friends). It is a cracking fishery and defo one that ill be going back to. Let me know when your going and i may see you on the bank. Kinda need someone to go fishing with since my dad doesnt go anymore as he is at work most times at weekend. i go with the girlfriend but she is a wuss and doesnt like the cold!!!!

Yeah Nath give us a PM when your next up this way and ill see what my diary has in store for me and meet ya there no probs!!! Thanks guys for the info on pendle i was going to give it a go but not now i suppose you got to go with the comment 'dont knock it until youve tried it' but its put me off big style. I may go to that cockerham fisheries just up the road from little wyreside, borwick fisheries looks pretty good and Heywood fisheries.

Im going to go and look at the Hudsdons farm fishery and possibly that Cockerham Quarry up near St Michaels on Wyre. Thanks guys for the suggestions ill keep them in mind. Gutted you lived in Darwen thats were i am .... whats this place in Rochdale is it night fishing? Cheers

Yeah a long time ago but i wasnt keen. What is it like now. I just felt at the time it was too pressured and they were very shy bitters.

Hi, Im looking for some new waters in lancashire. Prefer waters with 30mins drive of Blackburn (not cheshire etc). Anything in the lakes up in Lancaster. Used to go to little wyreside but its shut so im stuck in where to go. Martin

Id just like to say that apart from blanking, taking a trip to blackpool a&e and being wet all weekend this is a very good fishery and even though on the 2nd night i did not put alot of effort in as i could not use my right hand i really enjoyed my 2 nights here. There are fish to be caught. Infact i netted a nice mirror from a guy next to me weighing in at 20lb. the owners are so helpfull and the faciltities made the wet conditions seem like nothing. I will definately be back again when i have time away from uni and got a bit more money as i am revamping my gear. This is definately going to be one of my regulars. Martin

Hi, Im from Blackburn and come across the above fishery. I know it is'nt exactly high profile like Pendle View in Clitheroe but has anyone fished it/know anyone that has fished it? Ive booked on for a recap as i have not been on the bank for a long time. Cheers, Martin

I havent fished it yet but im on this sat on the mill lake as it is my first time on the lake and i want to try the smaller lake first Yeah has anyone been since these allgegations/comments were made. From looking at their webiste its been pretty good im quite impressed !! Martin

ohh no im not actually using a leader just asking what is best to use and is it worth the 5.99 that you would spend one one single leader. Martin

Hi Korda leaders are they worth the money or is there something else out there that is just as good especially with someone who has a tight budget? At 5 quid a leaders it can be quite dear especially with 3 rods and 4 different types. Martin

Hi People I am looking for a fishery near my town of Blackburn. I have been too Pendle view and wyreside (both) but i have heard of Walverden Fisheries in Burnley. Has anyone from the Lancashire area aver fished it and what is it like? finally if not has anyone got any other ideas on a fishery near Blackburn id like to fish it for 24/48 hrs and also dont want to be travelling very far. Martin

Hi Everyone I usually go to wyreisde fisheries (st michaels) but i was wondering if anyone could give me a couple of places to fish in lancashire because i fancy a change this year. i want one that is a nice place with night fishing. there are loads round here but its just picking which one !!! cheers
