Carr Mill Dam is one of the countries most well respected match fishing venues, this Merseyside reservoir has seen many of the countries’ finest anglers grace the banks. This is one of the largest sized waters in the North West, it dates back to the 1700s when it was created to help keep the Sankey canal topped up with water.
In the heyday years it would be common for anglers to bag up on ton bags of bream, plans are currently underway to restock the venue and turn it back into one of the main silverfish venues in the country. There has recently been some development work on the banks, plastic platforms have been placed in the water for people to fish from – make sure you wear suitable footwear if you don’t want wet feet.
