Has anyone ever fished this lake, apparently it is a Park lake in Liverpool near Sefton Park. Here is a link to some info I found on the net, but it would be better to take advice from anyone who has fished it recently! ( greenbank park lake @ go-fish.co.uk )

Hi Mate its been a long time since i fished the Liverpool Park lakes . However in my opinion Greenbank and Stanley Park were always the best of the bunch.

Greenbank Park is located in Wavertree not too far from Wavertree Playground. You can park quite close to the lake which is really more like a canal in shape almost cigar shaped with good far bank features to cast too. The predominate species to go for are the Tench which the pool has always produced in good numbers. Be warned that the lake is fished from dawn to dusk by kids during the summer holidays even @ 5am in the morning. Best to fish this pool when the little darlings are supposed to be at school. I always had success fishing straight lead and meat tight across to the features away from the constant bankside disturbance. Avoid maggots or caster or get bitten out by gudgeon and small roach . Sweetcorn also worth a go.
I must stress it is a couple of year's since i last fished the pool so it would be better to have a walk around and ask wot the crac is, but this should give u a general idea wot to expect.

Cheers for that mate. I have been warned off park lake fishing due to reports I have heard of people having their tackle nicked by groups of youths who grab what they can and then leg it off with whatever they get there hands on! I know it's a sorry state of affairs when you can't even go to a local park and fish good lakes without worriying about what might happen. It's not just a Liverpool thing either. I am origionally from Birmingham and my dad still fishes there, but now steers clear of inner city lakes. Edgbaston Reservoir being one of the place he used to enjoy fishing, but won't now for fear of intimidation from local youth Sorry to go off topic, and again, thanks for your useful information! I think it might just be worth a visit....after the wee ones go back to school
