Fir Tree Lodges
Two lakes in the Appley Bridge, Wigan which contain carp to 25lb though the average is low doubles, I believe Scots pine has the larger fish.

Wyreside Lakes Fishery
Not to be confused with Wryeside Fisheries above these lakes were created from former poor agricultural land after extraction of sand and gravel by Tarmac Roadstone Ltd. The first fish were introduced in 1984 (Mirror carp weighing up to 1.5 lbs) and they have thrived in the lakes, growing and breeding in a spectacular manner. Some of these original fish now weigh in the region of 40 lbs. There are eight lakes that cater for all most types of angling but the main lakes interest to carp anglers are Banton's Lake, River Lake, Wyre Lake and Carp & Pike Lake...
