Cromptons pond

Hi does anyone know if you can fish in Crompton’s pond and if so, do you have to get permission from anyone?
Cheers

Town: ashton

Re: Cromptons pond

It's a private pond Jenny so imagine you will have to get permission. Don't know who from though.

Town: Stubshaw Cross

Re: Cromptons pond

The fishing rights belong to Cromptons fishing club, but the lake doesn't belong to them, so I don't know why it's called Cromptons.
The club used to meet in the Angel pub on Warrington Road, but now I think they meet in the Catholic Club once a month.
According to what's said, they would welcome new members.

Town: Bryn, Ashton in Makerfield.
