Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Fishing Overview Bury
Bury, in Greater Manchester, is surrounded by varied coarse fishing, from the River Irwell and Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal through to intimate ponds and well-managed commercial fisheries. Most venues are easily reached from the town, with good access and plenty of pegs that suit both traditional float anglers and modern match and carp approaches.
Stillwaters around Bury typically hold carp, F1s, bream, tench, roach and perch. Carp in many commercials respond well from late spring through early autumn to method feeders and pellet waggler tactics. A compact method feeder with a 4–6mm pellet or small wafter tight to the island or far bank cover is a reliable opening move. In summer, shallow pellet fishing and mugging cruising carp along the near shelf also score heavily, especially on pressured match lakes.
On mixed and club waters, silver fish dominate the cooler months. Roach and skimmers respond to groundbait and maggot, with a soft, dark mix helping when the water is clear. Pole or waggler at 8–11m over a bed of groundbait and micros is a strong winter line; regularly loose-feed a few pinkies or maggots to keep fish active without overfeeding. Perch are a dependable fallback on tough days: small worm or single maggot dropped tight to reeds, pallets or any sunken structure will often produce when carp switch off.
The River Irwell as it passes close to Bury offers running-water sport for roach, chub, grayling and the odd barbel. In summer and early autumn, trot a stick float or bolo down the glides with maggot, caster or small pieces of bread flake. Focus on steadier seams below riffles, the tails of pools and any bends that create a visible crease in the flow. In higher, coloured water, step up to a heavier float and larger hook baits such as double maggot or corn, and search the slower inside line where fish shelter.
Canal fishing on the Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal is all about accuracy and rhythm. Plumbing the depth carefully across, on the far shelf and down the track is crucial. A light pole rig with fine line, small hook and tiny shotting pattern will pick off roach, skimmers and the occasional better perch. Feed very small balls of groundbait or just a pinch of pinkies every put-in to build the swim gradually. In colder months, a bread punch approach down the track often out-fishes everything else.
Predator anglers around Bury target pike and perch in both still and running water. Autumn through early spring is prime time for lure and deadbait tactics. On clearer venues, small natural-coloured shads and spinners fished slowly along drop-offs, boat channels and near any feature are reliable for perch. Pike respond to larger soft plastics and suspended deadbaits presented off the bottom near reed beds, overhanging trees or where silver fish shoals are evident.
Throughout the Bury area, success hinges on travelling light, plumbing carefully and tailoring feed to conditions. Keep rigs simple, stay mobile on rivers and canals, and adjust hook baits and feeding frequency to match water clarity and fish response. With that methodical approach, Bury’s mixed fisheries can produce consistent sport in every season.
