The Bunk is a fantastic venue and holds some incredible fish, not to long ago a friend of mine landed a 10lb silver coloured bream from this water, not to mention the carp he caught as well. There are quite a few species of fish on this venue ranging from carp, bream, tench, roach, perch and pike so there is everything for everybody in here and is well worth a visit.

Hot Fishing Spots:
Fishing can be very good all round this venue however I tend to fish from where the picture was taken (left above) as this is a really good place for pike which I fish for when on this complex, the pike I believe go up to 20lb.

Best Baits:
When fishing for pike I would recommend you used either Sardine or Smelt, both baits are very productive on this water. For other species try feeders for the bream, maggot, caster, worm and bread for all other types of fish. Carp will take boilies and small PVA bags but don't over do it.

Disability Access:
Disability access is not to dandy however if accompanied by somebody, access would be a little easier, you can see from the picture above (right) that the banks are very narrow and the other side is worse.

Car Parking:
There is ample car parking, fishermen tend to leave cars on the roadside.

Where to find The Bunk:
The Bunk can be found using you Manchester A-Z on page 33 grid reference E2 just follow the road as far as you can go.
