Upper Lodge (Specimen) – Rochdale & District A.S. (New)

Upper Lodge (Specimen) is a club water in Greater Manchester. Approach it as a specimen carp venue: spend time finding features, fishing accurate spots, and letting the swim settle between recasts. Reported species include Carp. Facilities, pegs and parking vary by venue—stick to designated paths, use appropriate fish-care gear, and follow local rules on bait limits, keepnets and unhooking mats. Bring a range of rigs for different depths, keep disturbance low, and use accurate feeding to hold fish in front of you. For carp venues, consider safe semi-fixed leads and barbless patterns where required.
