Fishing Holidays in Lancashire
Here we outline some of the fish stocked in our own on-site lake, to provide you with some inspiration and insight into the type of tackle to bring with you.
Carp
For those who like a challenge, our lake is well-stocked with the “queen of the rivers” herself – the mighty carp! Containing both common carp and crucian carp, our largest specimens have been established in the lake for many years now. Many of our touring guests return year after year to experience some of the best carp fishing in Lancashire.
Tench
The deep, slow-moving waters of the floor of our lake provide the perfect environment for tench, including some specimens weighing well over 1kg – for those that like to play the long game and have plenty of strength in their arms!
Roach
Roach of all sizes from large to small can be found throughout the lake, ensuring that even the novice or younger fisherman stands a good chance of winning a catch. However, the elusive larger specimens tend to be rather more challenging.
Beam
Shoaling bream thrive within the lower levels of our lake, making this one a firm favourite with anglers who wish to catch a large haul over the course of a day or so.
Perch
If you want to perfect your perch technique or are going for overall weight in a friendly competition, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you prefer to use a lure or a float, finding a perch on the end of your line and fighting to bring it in will certainly wake you up.
Rudd
Finally, if you’re looking for year-round sports fishing, the lake is well stocked with shoaling rudd, and if you can tempt one of our savvier, larger specimens on to your line, you’ll almost certainly win the day’s bragging rights.
If you’re planning on staying at our caravan park over the summer, make sure to pack your fishing gear! For more information about using Moss Wood’s coarse fishing lake, or for any other enquiries, get in touch with us using our contact page.
