Just been upto Hillside. The general layout is bleak n signage very poor but the lakes themselves look plush.
Did a couple of hours on pleasure Lake with the kids n got a plenty of roach n bream.
Had a sneaky look at "Berts Pool".....look awesome, just my type of pond.

It's 'sparse' up there isn't it?
Berts Pool is where I fished previously. Every time I went, there was a bloke bivvied up near the entrance on the 1st peg - i was convinced he lived there. I remember doing well on zigs fishing just out from the island from the bottom corner peg.
An other nice spot you could try for the kids is The Rising Fishery just outside Padiham. 3 ponds - one is fly only, but the Cauldron and Broomstick are good for a mixed bag (some lovely crucians in there) and some fair sized carp too. I was up there last weekend for the afternoon. Wasn't fishing well for anyone (same as a lot of places right now if the 'post lockdown' thread is to be believed), but it's a lovely little fishery and really well run.
Chris has an onsite cafe and tackle shop with peg / take out service at the moment for coffee / bacon buns etc. He also has bait in stock too
Ocelot - I'd no idea what happened up at Pendle View. Hadn't fished it for ages and was going to go up for a bit a good while back only to be told in my local tackle shop that it was closed. There were some very good fish in there.... I always found it a bit cliquey but I caught some decent carp so couldn't complain

Had a look online at The Rising Fishery. I'll bear it in mind.
I've booked us an overnight at Waterfarm Fishery in Bury next weekend....its very Local n fish look good but not convinced of stock level. We'll see......
Berts Pool look as "fishy" as I've ever seen a pond. Lovely margins, overhanging trees, island. I'll definitely get on this summer.....

Last time I passed Pendle view it had Harris fencing across the old entrance and a load of those boards stuck on it with building site rules on.
