Phoenix Park Lake, Runcorn

The lake is situated between the Bridgewater Canal and the Phoenix park housing estate in Runcorn. This lake is a truly mixed fishery containing carp, tench, bream, roach, perch, rudd, pike and eels. The club has stocked the lake with  carp, roach, perch and bream. The carp average around mid-doubles, and specimens have been caught to just under 30lbs. There are plenty of natural features and food, with reed beds and some lily pads. Depths range from a couple of feet at the shallow end  by the two islands,  to around 9 feet at the opposite end. All traditional fishing methods work, including float (lift method is excellent for tench in summer), pole or ledgering. Usual baits all score well – maggots, casters, sweetcorn, worms, luncheon meat, pellets or boilies.
