If you are looking for canal fishing theres good stretches behind the old pilkingtons glass site, a couple of stillwaters around too, one up at Thatto Heath and a big reservoir at Carr Mill dam alongside the A580 East Lancs. If you go up that way nip into Leigh Tackle and Bait they have a new shop not far from the A580 at chain lane shopping centre WA11 9HB. They will tell you all you need to know regards fishing in the area.

I can recommend Newton le Willows angling assoc who have some great waters not too far from you near Earlestown, Haydock and Sankey Valley. The ticket isn't too expensive and offers great variety of fishing.

There's a couple of decent club cards in the area, as well as Newton mentioned above St. Helens AA have some decent waters on their card including some good river fishing. Carr Mill Dam is on this ticket.

 

There's also St Helens Ramblers AC and Pilkingtons AC in the area.

 

There's a few tackle shops as well including Eccleston Angling Centre on Knowsley Road and Prescot Angling Centre in Prescot. Ask in there regarding the sort of fishing you're looking for and you won't go far wrong.
