It used to get heavily fished about 14 years ago when i was at school. Me and my mate used to go at 4am every weekend just so we could get a spot on the pier as it got that full. Even all along the dam wall used to get full. Alot of the time too you could see straight to the bottom 15ft+ deep and see tons of roach,perch and pike.

Me too but i wouldnt be suprised if it was drained there was a couple knocking about. Seen a massive Eel when i was younger biggest ive ever seen, thick as your arm. Also the big perch that used to be under the pier was amazing.

Thats the one, by the 4 tunnels but the other end by the beach.

Are you tying the knotless knot the wrong way? if your doing it wrong your line may be rubbing against the join of the eye and then breaking. You want the line to go back through the eye so its against the opposite side to the join if you understand me ???

Why are you not allowed to put your spools in your bag? is it something to do with the line and tying people up?

Probably struggle to see them there as there is alot of boats. One thing i do to find them on murky canals is to find some spots that look likely and on a hot day just put mixers or bread in at various stages and then walk back on yourself. Give it an hour or so then if you dont see anything move a bit further. I probably do this for about half a mile or so before i check another stretch. Still yet to catch a 20 out the canal but ive caught some nice looking doubles

This is why i dont like using normal braid very much, i always prefer to use coated braid

Theres a place calle billing aquadrome and thats got lots of facilities http://www.billingaquadrome.com/fishing.htm Not too sure what its like as ive never been.

Correct mate. And if people are still worried they shouldn't be fishing, maybe take up knitting or something

Also forgot to add once your a member you can fish all the other lakes free whenever you want.

You can night fish but you have to become a member and i think its £60 for the 1st year then £50 each year after. On top of that you have to pay £2 for each 12hrs you do on the specimen lake. Biggest fish probably about 25lb and you should be able to go today and get a ticket. Hope this helps

Not really many decent ones around here. Probably shatterford best place if your after decent fish. Ones i know of are Evesham vale Pool hall Fisherwick Barston Dingle fishery Weston lawns Lakeside Sheepy Magna Leighton Pools All those you can night fish Theres some more just cant think of them at the minute

Yes. That's the resevoir............. Looks bloody bosting

Is it that perfectly formed rectangle pool?

It might be the same pools my dad used to take me as a kid. Did it used to be full of crucians and small carp?

I've only fished matches there in the past, when it was only about 2ft deep like you said. But since then i think its changed owners and they have cleared all the bottom. Apparently its about 5-6 foot deep now and they restocked some fish into it. I have only been for a look since but not fished it

Just feather the cast with your finger and then you will be able to keep a fairly tight line for when it hits the water. Also keep your rod tip high and just as its about to hit the surface i lower the rod with it. Then as it hits the bottom you will feel the rod bounce back and the line will go slack.

They say that dotting putty along your hooklink is supposed to kick the hookbait away from the lead. But who knows for sure unless you get underwater and watch it land. And it might land differently with each cast.

Hi mate im not gonna put you down anymore i know its a bad rig. With your mainline thread that through the tubing and tie it to the lead. With the rubber bead you need it to be sliding so that in the result of a snap the fis can free the tubing and the lead, so all its left with is the hooklink. If its moving too much the best thing to do is buy a smaller bead but not too tight, or just tie a little piece of pva tape on it. Hope this helps

Dont think anyone owns it now but i know its supposed to be rough. Not somewhere i would fish on my own.

Once went to kingsbury water park after a bank holiday and it looked like a bomb had hit the place. I even helped the ranger pick some of the litter up it was that bad. I think he said he filled somewhere in the region of 20 black bin bags just round the one lake. That was due mainly from the argos brigade fishing in the holidays. Its normaly ok any other time. I dont see why its so hard to take it home with you though.
