Jamie. the top end of the sluice is a day ticket water, the SDDA website has details of where to get a ticket if you are interested.

[wokkie]

If any of you wanted to fish the Sluice on the day ticket stretch,make sure you log on to S.D.A.A. asking if the place fishable first :DIt's full of weeds at the moment,The Back Drain is fishable though

[bassmachine]

yeh i,m up for it as well.sounds like a good idea,should be a laugh.count me in.

[chris]

Is the back drains behind leisure lakes in Southport?

Dave, the Sluice (aka River Crossens) runs from the back of Martin Mere at Burscough, all the way to the pumping station at Crossens.

The Back Drain runs parallel with it from around peg 35 on the match length (middle of nowhere) to within 500yds of the same pumping station at Crossens.

The day ticket length of the Sluice runs from the old railway bridge at Banks (on the landward side of the A565) to a 'No fishing past this point' sign on the seaward side of the A565. The car park is at the junction of the A565 and Station Road at Banks - there's a sign which details where you can fish and where you can get your ticket (the garage just up the road is the normal place).

I have major fears for the upcoming Centenary Match this Sunday - there are MASSIVE rafts of duckweed drifting up & down which will wipe out sections at a go - there are going to be some very angry entrants come Sunday morning...

[jackpike]

The weed is slowly moving towards the pump house and day ticket section it should be cleared by Sunday will keep you posted
