Hi peeps , anyone on here fish or are familiar with lymm dam ? It's a large still water near Warrington greater Manchester. I've fished it a few times and I'm a member of Bay Malton angling club which runs the syndicate .

No idea sorry, but looks a lovely setting, I guess nuisance species might be an issue with all the roach etc.  I guess hard hookbaits and/or bigger baits will help.

It's teaming with fry , it has its fair share of bream as those beggars keep waking me up during the night but I figured that spombing chilli hemp was the cause of that.  I use 16mm krill boilies with a corn pop up on top with a hair rig which has been good most of the time on other waters but the carp there are hard to catch and that's why I like it other than the views . Definitely gonna go up a size in boilie next time , managed to get hold of a session pack of nash citruz cultured 20mm pop ups as I had great results with the pink citruz boilies back in the day, will try a different spomb mix too 👌

Good luck fella, I'd be having a go for Perch on lures with all those fry you mention it must have some big ones. 👍
