Ackers Pit

History of Ackers Pit

Ackers Pit has been a cherished spot for anglers since its re-opening in 2009. Located in Stockton Heath, approximately two miles south of Warrington, significant efforts were made in 2007 to drain, desilt, and re-landscape the pit. These improvements included the construction of new pegs and restocking the fishery, aiming to revive its reputation as a prolific roach fishing location.
