Leeds Liverpool Canal
Brief description of fishery:
We have a reciprocal agreement with Liverpool & District Angling Association which allows Lymm Angling Club members to fish the Leeds Liverpool Canal (Liverpool City Centre to Saracens Head Halsall) with members of Liverpool & District Angling Club allowed to fish our stretches of the Shropshire Union Canal between Bridges 107 & 108, 108 & 111 and 111 & 120 also the Llangollen Canal between Bridges 13 & 15, 15 & 22 and 25 & 33 and the Bridgewater Canal
The following pages of the Lymm Angling Club map book are based on the information available from the Port Sunlight Angling Club website and Lymm Angling Club members at all times must carry a valid Lymm AC membership card and abide by PSAC rules whilst on affiliated PSAC waters.

The water is generally 5 feet deep and 50 ft wide. It is well stocked (by us) with Bream, Roach, Perch some Tench, and Pike. All road bridges provide access to the canal bank, but parking can vary from area to area. The most successful methods are pole using bread, maggot, or worm baits.
Bream run to 3lb generally Roach to 1lb and Perch to 2lb Tench are not as prolific as they were years ago but when you do catch them, they tend to be 3-4 lb. However this year we embarked on a stocking program for tench, so we hope for a big improvement. Pike are prolific and as well as a lot of small ones double figure fish are not unusual.
There are no locks on the whole of the length until the city centre and as a result, flow is very limited with no more than a very steady tow towards Liverpool. There are large, weeded areas mostly from Maghull through to Liverpool and in summer it can cover the whole of the canal.
Members of Dee Anglers, Darlech AC, Liverpool & District Angling Association and Lymm Angling Club are allowed to fish this water through affiliation.
