mollington tench lakes

[dan the man]

anyone any clues what happened to this place i recall hearing many yrs ago that the police angling club had taken it over ,and  also heard i dunno how true this is though so dont quote me ,that the residents nr by the pit had it closed due to noise levels.

I also heard that a Police angling club controlled the fishing but that was years ago.
Other than that I haven't heard anyone mention them for thirty years!

If you look on Google maps the lakes look very murky which may indicate that they still contain fish.
There are some farm buildings near them which must be fairly recent as I don't remember them years ago.

yeah i did they do look murky too .and where did them buildings come from .i dont recall them either .must look into this a bit more maybe find someone whose in the police angling club ,cheers m8

[Something fishy]

hi all the land is now owned by 2 people half is not used but the part by the lake on 1 side is used for horses and there 4 that side could not be fished but the other side could but p.s.a.c looked at it and some1 from the club fished it and had a good day but no1 could not come to an agreement so nothink happened it is a big water for a small club i dont think they could manage it look at raby mere lol

I had a walk round the lakes about 3 years ago
You can fish from all sides. But there were no established pegs so it would have taken a lot of cash to install them.  There was very poor fencing so again a large lump of cash to erect fencing.  
There was no parking set aside so again cost of laying hardcore for parking
There was also a problem with poaching as there was evidence of camp fires and beer cans. And a well trodden path towards the far end of the lake.  So there was a health and safety issue (clue Karl)
At the time it was rented by someone who was mainly using the land for horses they were going to sub leas the lakes so there was no guaranty of fishing rights if they moved on.  
I think they just wanted someone to take them on and keep the poachers away as they were causing problems and putting people off stabling there horse there.
It would be nice if someone took them over and opened it up again if only so I could fish it again as I spent many days there when I was a kid back in the seventies
Does anyone remember   the 2 bloody big Alsatians they had They scared the S!!t out of me  
you would pay you money at the farm house if i remember rightly but they would come round once or twice a day to check you had paid (with the dogs in tow) can’t remember if you got a ticket but I think it was a raffle ticket and again I can’t remember the price as my brother in-law always paid for me but I am sure it was 50 Pence .

It looks a lot more 'open' than I remember it. Looks like many of the trees and reeds have been removed.

hello i dont think that any1 would want to be member of p.s.a.c as they might keep some of there waters very well but as some1 said look at raby and look at the match waits so i think that says it all there are very few fish and there not stocking very often people want to catch fish as it is a fishing club they dont want to just sit there and catch a cold and it might be the biggest club on the wirral at the mo

What has this got to do with mollington lakes if you have an issue with PSAC then please contact them and don’t try to hijack another post.
Please before you start posting get your facts right. PSAC has got a well established stocking policy
Also it is weight and not waits.

in reply to your comments why no one would want to be a member of p.s.a.c you r totally wrong on this fact as you r on all posts for p.s.a.c they have no problem with new members wanting to join each year and as for stocking  they have a stocking policy as all angling clubs do all you seem to go on about is match weights one can tell you fish nudd holes oops mud holes which angling club r you in ?    P.S.A.C. r a big club who have an exciting future ahead of them so less of the negativity all anglers should promote angling in local area as it is angling clubs that attracts the younger generations that carry that club on into the future just look how old the club is

Ya true we should support local Angling clubs as they are the life blood of our hobby and bring on the young ones to take it on when we are dead and buried.
