I do know many years ago it was a private trout fishery and when we pike fished one of my mates caught a 7 pound brown trout on a drifter float fishing a dead bait. Is it still on the Southport ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finchey Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 It doesn't even mention carp mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo7uk Posted February 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 I don't know how they got in there but they definitely are even if the website doesn't mention it. My brother and two of his friends have seen them basking in summer and also in the shallow conservation area in spawning season. He's also long time friends with a local tackle shop owner who organises pike matches on anglezarke and there have been numerous mentions of large carp caught from upper rivington reservoir. Looks like I'll just have to put the time in and hope to bag one haha no doubt I'll drag in a few bream first though haha Yeah it's still Southport ticket (SDAA). I joined just recently because they stopped the day tickets on anglezarke so thought I'd start giving this reservoir a go too. finchey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finchey Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Can you do nights or is it still syndicate members only. I hope you manage to get some out luck mate. Give us a shout when you're on there and I'll nip up for a chat very local to me. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo7uk Posted February 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 I haven't checked yet but I think once your a member you have to then apply for a night syndicate. Not sure if there is an extra cost or just a waiting list but you can definitely do nights on this one but not anglezarke. Yeah will do sounds good. finchey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
