Fishing at Wire Mill Dam

[rmjohns2 10]

Hi,

 

I used to fish Wire Mill Dam when I was a teenager - used to catch loads of Crucians and Tench on pellet and bread.

 

Had a walk up with my daughter on Monday expecting to see loads of people fishing, but there was no one to be seen. I know its day ticket now (was free when I used to fish it) but I'd expect to see at least a few fishing.

 

Anyone know if there are still fish in there?

There is definitely fish in there, saw loads just last week whilst walking in the area.

It’s a reel shame this place used to brilliant at times very shallow now and many fish died after 200 mini carp were added. It looks like the only fish left are the new carp that have grown big. I went up a few weeks ago really sad to see it in such a state I’m sure it will be in the same condition as forge dam in years to come .
