Having lost my little pond in the nene valley, im now thinking about cheshire
does any one know of a quiet little carp lake that can be fished nights, on a club book, not bothered about catching huge carp, maybe up to mid 20`s
ouch i was going to say hope it was barbless but off to A&E suggests barbed, think i would have just cut it out with a stanley knife, at least you know your hooks are sharp, probably not a korda hook
i used to live in pompey and never got to fish yately, by time i had got old enough for a car i got interested in girls and sort of forgot about fishing, i wish i had done some time on yately and now i live to far away
It should be quiet down there, you might do well going this time of year, st johns gives you the chance of the biggest, brasenose the chance of the most runs
I have to say orchid is a superb lake, its not a runs water but the fish are worth catching if your prepared to put in the effort, good luck with which ever lake you choose
try fishing with an inline lead and a really long rig, say about 18 inches the lead will pull into the silt but hook bait will sit on top if you use a nugget of foam on the hook
Hi all, can any one recommend a day ticket lake to bivvy up for a couple of days around stroud as my daughter wants to go visiting a friend and i said i would drive her down if i can find a lake to stop at! dont want horse shoe just a nice quiet little place with the chance of a few nice carp
thanks in advance
go to bluebell, fish main lake with a snowman bait/rig, safer at bluebell and good chance if you get a run it will be a decent fish, there you go job done !
proper fishing mate well pleased for you, as you work hard at your carpin, and just goes to prove what a good water that is, get some fishy pics on mate in june catch reports

Do you need to use a chod rig? what type of lake bed will you be fishing over?
If you find your self using leadcore, google terry hearns video on you tube or on esp website!
if you go for the much safer option of using a synthetic leader you can use a piece of shrink tube where the bead sits, then slide bead onto shrink tube so that it will still pull free, but best advice would be to rethink your rig and go with a SAFE rig
