is compstall still open or do they have a closed season ? used to be a good water in cold conditions, coombs used to be good for the bream and has a few carp in it and some big pike, used to be free but dunno now, id probably plump for a canal untill the bigger fish in the stillwaters wake up, especially the tench.

have a look at king william website they have some good waters if you dont mind fishing in salford, all cheap day tickets.
