Moore Quarry

Access to this water is strictly Members Only

This site is an Association-owned former sand quarry, situated next to the Manchester Ship Canal near to the village of Moore, 2 miles west of Warrington. The water is very clear and there is a huge depth range (over 40 feet in places).

The Quarry is one of our flagship specimen fisheries. Don’t be fooled though, this is not a ‘runs’ water. Fishing can be challenging. The fish here are old and wily, and to catch them requires patience and watercraft. You will not catch on every visit.

The principle stock of fish in this lake is specimen carp, bream, tench plus odd pike. Roach and perch are also present.  The carp reach over 30lbs, with commons, mirrors, and grass carp present. Bream and tench, although not numerous, both reach into double figures, making this one of the best specimen waters in the North West.

The high banks and very deep water make this a potentially dangerous place. Juniors may only fish here if accompanied by an adult member, and wading is not allowed. There is a secure club car park on the fishery. The gate must be kept locked at all times.

Night fishing is limited to 2 nights only. Anglers must only use the swims provided, any member found interfering with the flora and fauna at this site will be dealt with severely.
