Yes... That is the Lagoon.
There are known/sponsored anglers on there, but it is very difficult to bypass the waiting list by offering large amounts of cash, as certain individuals have discovered

I've spoken to a few who want to get on there. Wish I had the time to have taken the ticket when offered, very little chance of getting on there now. Some nice fish from what I've seen

Abit off topic but there's a complex of lakes near me on day ticket one of which only holds a fish that I'm sure goes 50 the right time of year, there's very little about it online or on forums, hardly see anyone fishing. Has less than 20 fish I believe. Very hard water apparently

Regarding the Eye, another thread on here, possibly no longer available, mentioned the fact that there were strong rumor's that the fish was caught at the start of the season and moved to a nearby water where it subsequently perished. That would have been over 20 years ago now that it was supposedly moved ...

It's in my eyes the holy grail of Northern carp waters. Virtually impossible to get on and still contains some absolutely ridiculous fish but you will never hear anything about the venue or the fish. You don't get many waters like that especially up this end, has that mystique about.the place

It is indeed and long may it continue to be so, by the sounds of it.

Re Paul Selman, or it might have been Bill Cottam, though I'm sure it was Paul, they did a stint on Lymm Dam and declared it not to have much over doubles, I think this was only a couple of years before I fished it for 2 starting in 1989. I was walking back after packing up and 2 lads were weighing a 27.5lb Mirror so much for that!

I always expected good fish from LD but it's proximity to the road made it perfect for relocating fish. The commons in there were like a cross between a wildy and a river, good god they could move, I've never had any fish other than a Grassy move like those fish.

What's in there these days? -I pass Lymm Dam daily and only ever seen the odd double cruising the surface
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
