Sports - fishing information

Whether beginner or expert there are opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy fishing at Rochdale Countryside Service sites.  All are stocked with coarse fish including bream, tench, carp, roach and perch. Only Hollingworth Lake and Rhodes Lodges in Middleton offer day permits, other lodges and waters are privately run by angling societies and are strictly members only unless stated otherwise. At these venues there is no closed season, but fishing rules and regulations apply and there are some restrictions on where you can fish, therefore it is advisable to phone in advance for more information.
