Hulton Park Lake, Atherton, Bolton.

Hulton Park Lake is a beautiful water which stocks carp, perch, roach and tench. The venue can be located at the top of Garthmere Road, Atherton and is open to senior members of Bolton Anglers permit only. There are plenty of tench, 2lb roach, perch and bream but there are no pike. Carp have been caught to 24.5lb however a local lad told me that some of carp have been stolen over the years and stocked in another nearby water.

In the summer this water suffers from vandalism, litter and youths swimming in the water when they shouldn't do. The bailiff does a good job but when his back is turned the trouble starts again, quite an impossible situation to control at the moment but I'm hoping to change this by introducing 4 more bailiffs, this might just help stop the loutish behaviour which is going on.

Fishing can be good all round this venue however if your carp fishing, you might want to try fishing under the rhododendrons which are to the left of the picture above. Perch fishing is also very good here, a worm or small spinner is all you need and if you land on them you can get catches of 2.5lb per fish.

If you do fish this water you must prepare yourself for a walk with your tackle and when carp fishing this can be a problem due to the amount of tackle carp anglers carry when fishing.

If you have any pictures of fish which you have caught from Hulton Park Lake please feel free to send them in, we will display them on this page for all to see.

Thanks.
