Whiteheads lodges are situated in Lower Croft in Ainsworth nr Bury. There are three waters at Whiteheads and all are quite good to fish. Although I have only ever fished the bottom lodge, people have told me about the fish which they have caught from the other two waters. The bottom lodge pictured below is the one which holds the carp, the biggest being around 27.5lb. It is here where I have had great success by catching all but one carp from this water.

This particular water not only houses carp but bream, pike and roach are also very often caught from here. The water used to be run by Radcliffe Anglers Association however the water holds a Dam wall which needed lots of money spending on it and Radcliffe Anglers decided against renewing their contract, therefore a local business man stepped in and took responsibility of the waters.

Disability Access:
Disability access is not very good, there is short walk to the bottom lodge and a long walk to the other two waters as well as a few fences to climb over.

You can find Whiteheads Lodges in your Manchester A-Z under grid reference 2-E on page 34 and tickets can be purchased from the bank side.

If you have a fishy tale about your experience at Whiteheads Fisheries, please email us, we would love to here from anyone who has fished this water.
