Fishery Information
To the north of Liverpool close to the town of Lydiate in Lancashire, Mescar Fisheries features three well-stocked lakes in a prime fishing location as well as a series of ponds. The A59 is the nearest main road and there are major road hubs not far away making this an easy place to find.
Mescar Lake is the choice for anglers looking for prime carp and features five bays and an island. At 4.5acres it is the biggest of the lakes here and houses a good head of carp plus bream, perch and – an unusual fish in such a fishery – many ide or orfe. Mistral Lake is a 3.5acre water that houses good size carp, chub and barbel. A popular lake with members it is advised for consistent fishing.
Marin Lake is another 3.5acre water stocked with smaller carp plus bream and ide, and is ideal for those new to angling. Greenslane Ponds are also part of the fishery and offers a good head of carp plus many other species to decent sizes. It is the water which locals say guarantees a bite.
