Fishing Lakes in Bolton

Bolton's fishing spans still water and moving water within a short distance of each other. Doffcocker Lodge and Rumworth Lodge sit alongside Jumbles Reservoir as the town's stillwater venues, while the Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal offers a different style of session for anyone wanting a change from lake fishing. Moses Gate Country Park rounds out the five venues listed here.

That mix of reservoir, lodge and canal water means the choice on a given day comes down to whether you fancy the canal or one of the lakes, rather than travelling further afield. For those wanting more options, Manchester has ten venues listed on its own page, though Bolton's five cover a reasonable spread of water types without needing to leave town.
