I fished here in June 09, and although I was catching all day, the biggest thing I managed to pull in were a few perch of around 6oz. Mostly it was just small rudd. I had one rod fishing maggot on the waggler, and another ledgering sweetcorn. I had nothing on the corn all day, not even a twitch.
The fella in the local tackle shop in Burscough told me that some of the bigger fish in the lake had been taken out and moved elsewhere, whilst another guy I spoke to on the bank said he'd heard virtually all the bigger fish had been taken out. I've since heard all the bigger fish were moved to Southport Leisure Lakes and that this place is due to be filled in soon as houses are being built on the land.
For now though, it's a good venue if you're taking your kids fishing, or if you're just starting out, as there are plenty of small fish in there and it's free.
