Greens Lane Ponds Lydiate
From the A59 at Maghull take the A5147 Southport Road through Lydiate. Watch for the Scotch Piper Pub on the left then take next right at the Church into Hall Lane. Bear left at the Y junction (Eager Lane), cross over canal and ponds are signposted 100 yards on right.
The fishery is just over three-quarters of an acre and is an extension of a very old marl pit where clay was dug out to line the canal when it was first built. It has been open as a day ticket water for three years and is stocked with carp to 20Ib,tench to 41b, bream 5Ib, roach, perch and crucian carp. Many anglers use pole tackle but the rod, reel and running - line can be more effective and cope with the fact that big fish appear in the margins, If you do use pole tackle have the extension ready to slip back on. Its a proven fact that many of the bigger fish at Green Lane Ponds come from the reed-fringed margins where the water is about two feet deep going out to about five feet. Perch can be caught almost every cast with float - fished red maggot but when the tench and bream are being targeted the better baits are caster, corn and bread.
