Partridge Lakes is set over 70 acres with 394 pegs across 15 waters. Each lake has been individually landscaped to provide a fantastic day's coarse fishing for all, including open match anglers, club match anglers, specimen anglers and pleasure anglers of all levels.
It is arguably the most popular coarse fishery in the UK and one of the leading commercial match fishing venues in Europe. Day ticket fishing is available on some of the finest waters in the North West and yearly membership is also available on the exclusive and prestigious Gold Lake.
The established waters are heavily stocked with quality carp, chub, bream, roach, perch, rudd, barbel, tench, golden tench and ide.
The uniquely designed and stocked waters offer an ideal venue for club matches of all sizes. Open matches are also held daily on the Covey lakes, which are considered some of the very best match waters in the country, with 173 pegs attracting the highest attendance of match anglers every week in the UK.
Overlooking the lakes is a tackle and bait shop and the terrace café, which is open all day every day serving fresh hot and cold food throughout the year.
