Wendy, the area that you live in produces water with a low ph content (acidic) from the peaty moors and foothills that surround your location. Low ph or acidic waters rarely produce a good environment for producing quality fish.
As you travel south you reach the Cheshire plain. The soil is more fertile, consequently the waters are richer and healthier and able to sustain fish of better quality as well as specimens of many species.
Even further south you reach Shropshire where the land is even more fertile. Here waters due to the amount of natural food they contain could be described as pregnant.
With all waters (apart from overstocked commercials) it is so important what lies underneath to determine the quality of fish life.
Rather than me come under fire from certain FM anglers accusing me of spilling the beans on an open forum may I suggest you put your name on The Prince Albert Angling Society of Macclesfield waiting list.
It is a terrific club with a huge catchment of waters. Many of them hold a wide range of species which would suit your type of fishing and more importantly many are safe for lady anglers.
Check out their website all the info is there.
Good luck BC.
