Croft Head
Located close to Littleborough, Croft Head and its neighbouring pond Lower Townhouse are both popular among members due to its great fishing and sheltered setting.
This water was aquired in 1993 when Littleborough anglers decided to ‘call it a day’.
A leak had caused the water to drain and all the fish had been removed.
It is now used for the majority of Club matches due to the number of pegs and the fairness of the venue. Matches can be won from anywhere on this water!
This Society bought the surrounding field and project managed the complete restoration of the water. Many tons of silt were removed, fishing platforms built, silt traps constructed and a car park created. The water was restocked with lots of fish and reopened for fishing in 1994.
