Lure Fishing In Manchester City Centre
I’ve had a couple of short evening sessions lure fishing on the River in the centre of town. Using a small Big S, a vibrax minnow and a small copper mepps spinner, action with perch and chub has been pretty good. No fish of any remarkable size though. Its surprised me that I havent had any takes or follows from Pike, so last night I tried a few hours on the Bridgewater Canal between Old Trafford and Castlefield. Again just small perch and no Pike.
Every time I fish the Bridgie, I get a sense of nostalgia – teenage days idled away with good mates catching little to bugger all.
Off to the Ribble downstream of the TT this evening – hopefully a fish or two will bend the rod.

Hello Mike, I have just purchased a Bridgewater Canal permit from Warrington Anglers that covers the stretches between Leigh and Altrincham. I lure fish but I'm not after pike, just perch and (if I can find them) chub. It's probably not somewhere you fish very often, but given your knack for finding fish in the most unlikely looking areas, I wondered if you know of any good spots on the Bridgewater that perch populate? Regards Peter
