Cheers Itchy.

ooooohhhhhhh........Pickmere! many a time have i stood on that dam end lookin across and wondering! With it being relatively unfished and quite large, i've never had the balls to start on there - out of my comfort zone that place. Know its got some big bream in, but don't know about carp stock.

Pickmere! Seen a few people fishing it, Not 100% but i dont think you can do nights on it! From what ive heard not many people brave it, But i would like to have a crack at it one day!

few of my mates have fished on there think they had maybe 2 fish only mid doubles.one of the lads only lives 5mins away and he heavily baited it for weeks filling it in 3 times a week.had nothing except bream.bagged it in the end had enough.have heard stories of fish being caught,never heard of anything massive 26/27lb biggest.you would like to think there could be some kippers swimming around in there somewhere though.

I fished Heatley Mere a bit late 05, early 06. I didn't catch anything but I did see them. Didn't see any monsters, low/mid doulbles the best I saw. Talking to the few people that walked round now and again, the biggest would go upper double.

It suffers from litter and gets fished a lot by kids and lads who treat the place like a land fill site, I'd get down there to find beer cans/bottles, bags of rubbish hanging from the trees, loo roll, gas bottles, you name it It used to drive me mad, and it put me off going there in the end. I told the club about the problems but I think it went in one ear and out the other

If anyone else has anymore to add i would be greatfull.
I hope to allso fish for Pike aswell so i hope there are some good ones in these waters.


Cheers Itchy

sum big fish in pickmere my mate has been watching the water alot recently very hard water.

[Jack!]

fished heatley mere myself a good few times last year....not the hardest of waters...averaged 2 or 3 fish in a night found that they didnt feed much in the day...biggest i had as 15lb mirror but a mate had a 19lb mirror that looked quite old!!

It is filthy on there, litter is ridiculous on there and full of rats which aint surprising....

sale moor anglers have got a few good waters and a few waste of time waters like heatley mere i have had a walk round it a few times and fished it once ( bit bashing ) the place is an absolute tip.. beer cans, coke cans, pot noodles, crisps, you name it its on the floor or hanging from trees in plastic bags. If i was you m8 id steer clear and try somewhere like tabley moat park of lymm anglers i have heard ALOT about this water and it has some monsters in supposidly.

PM me with your number if you want mate ... I bailiff the Northwich bank of Pickmere, but also walk the Sale Moor bit ( along the public footpath ), and haven't bumped into one of your bailiff's yet ... 2 sets of eye's are better than one ...



Oh and back to the original question itchy ... it's worth fishing - there are some good fish in there but easy it ain't !!!
