Amberswood Nature Reserve

Recommended Posts

Hi, 

Any of the other Northerners heard of a lake called Amberswood, based in Hindley. 

Heard it has a decent amount of "Big ens" Carp, Pike, Tench Bream, Roach... 

Looking at giving this place a weekend reccy trip for some depths, features, pegs...

No pal, just off a few mates, it's like another park lake I fish, open to the public, every Tom **** n Harry's turning up, its a deep place, some big fish in, Eg Tench, Pike Carp, but not many of them to be honest... Im giving park lakes a swereve at moment...

As far as I know, it's free, it's all abit like 3 Sisters Park lake to be honest... 

3 Sisters - 

Pros - FREE fishing, Anglers look out for each other, nice well looked after fish, looked after park, car park on site. 

Cons - Park gates open 24hrs, boy racers on car park, herds of 14-17 Yr olds n boom boxes, dog owners letting dogs jump in anywhere, supposed only fish far side people fish where ever they want, not supposed fish more than over half of lake, people making multiple fires. 

Also the place is no deeper than 4ft at most, still loads stunning fish in the lake, all boshing and cruising, only ever had 4 fish out there, last was my PB September 2020, can be a really tricky lake, I've done about 10 sessions on there and blanked 8 I think.

Sounds perfect for a winter campaign,  if you're up for it?

If not go next spring mate

Lovely fish, I bet thers a few more like that too!

Carp, Pike, Bream Tench.....Apparently all run into Double Figures.

I've got 2 Byometric Maps and 2 Deeper Mappings what a lad has done, but I'm not allowed to show anyone 🙄.

But I'm getting more and more fixated/fixated by this place.

Only that it's mega weedy during Summer months, lily pad roots....Double Corn bait tends to be written alot for the flashes, so don't see why not for here...plenty write ups for the Tench 8lb biggest I've found, Pike upto 30lb ??? The odd Carp apparently....but I'll take double figure Tench n Bream....I'm really thinking of going in 2 weeks for just a trial night???.....Pellet n Corn

Just been told.......

Good 30 carp in.....know of a 28 27 a good few 20s loads of rest up and comers, big tench big black things some of them, yes big pike not really weedy more silty with pads.....

Been sent 3 more pics of 3 high 20's.

I don't have your experience of fishing a big water , Commonly , so I'm curious as to why you suggest a Winter campaign rather than now in the Autumn - I thought Winter was the hardest month ? .

Is it because the smaller fish are less active as it gets colder ? .

This would be my biggest water I've ever dabbled in....with it being a Free Water it's not written about much to be honest. 

Gonna try n do some more findings about the place.

Ideally start putting bait in now & just trickle a bit of bait in to try and get a winter spot going.

I'm only just starting myself mate. I don't get the time to get any spots going.

I just listen to what and where other anglers have done and apply it to how I like to fish.

Going to the social last week on a day ticket, really showed how my approach has changed a lot to how I fish at the reservoir.

At the end of the day the fish still feed the same, its just a case of finding them😄
