Scholes Yard (Ramsbottom Angling Association)

Scholes Yard (Ramsbottom Angling Association) is a stillwater venue in Greater Manchester. Access is typically via club membership or controlled permits; check the club rules and any guest‑ticket requirements before fishing. A good approach is to start by plumbing the swim and locating any features (shelves, reeds, islands or margins), then feed little‑and‑often to build bites without overfeeding. On calmer days, float tactics (waggler/pole where allowed) can be very effective; when the wind gets up, a light feeder method helps keep a consistent presentation. Reported species include Carp, Bream, Tench, Roach, Perch, pike. Fish patrol routes can change with weather and angling pressure, so stay observant and be prepared to switch between open water and margins. Please follow fish‑care best practice (unhooking mat, suitable landing net, sensible tackle) and check any bait/hook/keepnet restrictions on arrival.
