Where to fish in Cheshire

Partridge Lakes

Warrington · 3 lakes on site

A big, 70-acre commercial complex of 15 waters and 394 pegs near Warrington, mixing a UK-renowned match venue (The Coveys) with day-ticket carp, pleasure lakes and a members-only Gold Lake.

Shropshire Union Canal

Chester · 1 lakes on site

Proper canal fishing on the Chester stretch of the Shropshire Union, covering bridges 113–120. There’s a cracking mix of coarse fish, reported large carp towards the quieter eastern end, and a £2.50 dawn-to-dusk day ticket.

Macclesfield Canal

Macclesfield · 1 lakes on site

Proper canal fishing on Prince Albert Angling Society’s bridges 37–61 stretch, with mixed silvers, plentiful perch and skimmers, plus the odd double-figure carp. Fools Nook at bridge 49 is an access point, not the whole venue.

Hampton Springs Fishery

Malpas · 8 lakes on site

Eight spring-fed lakes, mixed coarse fishing and carp to get you thinking about a PB — Hampton Springs has plenty going on. Just pick your water before loading the car: some lakes need booking, and Folly is syndicate-only.

Old Hough is a proper mixed-coarse and match complex near Middlewich, with 10 pools and over 200 pegs. There’s plenty of choice for a pleasure session, while West Sooty offers advance-booked fishing for carp and catfish.

Lloyds Meadow Fishery

Frodsham · 4 lakes on site

Four lakes, 93 pegs and a proper mixed coarse line-up: Lloyds Meadow offers plenty of choice for a Cheshire day session. Islands give three lakes a clear focal point, but leave the floating baits at home.
