The Angling Club was originally formed by the railway employees in 1949 under the auspices of the L.M.R Sports and Social Club. In 1976 the Angling Club became self sufficient and severed its links with the Social Club. The Angling Club has a membership of about 100 and is run by a committee elected at an annual general meeting, when audited accounts are presented.
The Reservoir is situated on the east side of Copse Road, Fleetwood, adjacent to David Halsall P.L.C who own the property. It has an area of approximately 4,000 square metres, an average depth of 3 metres, and is constructed of stone sets and a clay bed.
The Reservoir was part of the railway sidings and workshops operated by the London Midland Railway (L.M.R) and was built more than 100 years ago. The sheds and sidings have long since gone and when British Rail pulled out of the area they sold the land to Fleetwood Borough Council.
