That sounds like a real shame if so. I used to walk the dog round there even when not fishing, on hot summer days you could see good fish on the Church side from the 'cliffs' for want of a better word.
I haven't been there for at least 5 years, Bay Moulton took it on after I believe LAC refused to pay towards any platforms (may be wrong, whispers and all that). I saw the 1st few pegs being built near the reeds church dip side.
It had some great Pike in it too, though I feared for them. The old bailiff that came round warned us they were being poached for food, signs went up asking folk to report signs of static lines with lures/blades on. A week or so after I did a stint the Mrs godfather weighed a 28lber iirc for a lad who caught it as he had no scales.

I'm not aware of the waterfall. If you look on Google maps there's a private road that some of the houses back onto the dam, it's one of them.
Sooty and sweep used to live a stone throw away too

That's good to hear. I had a look at the Bay Moulton site last night, the common pictured looks very much of the shape I remember catching at high doubles, just filled out a bit, nice strain of fish that! £54 per year to fish just Lymm Dam, bargain!
Your not alone Phil, the Stone Roses would have gone over my head too, I was thinking it might be the inflow at the back where the bridge goes over

The club have been putting lots of work into the lake, rebuilding pegs and stocking new fish when necessary. Definitely one to watch.

They have indeed, doing a great job. I was out of the loop but my friend who's sadly now passed away used to help with their accounts and he kept me informed as he knew how much I like the Dam.
Another water I don't here much about, naturally not publicity ban. Sale Water park, a lot of the older big Carp passed on but some good new ones coming through.
