There are lot of waters around the north-west that are quiet and very rarely fished, and contain some cracking carp. People just have to do a bit of homework and they would be surprised what they find. I hear things all too often about such a place being packed, and this happened at such a place. Unfortunatley we live in a quick fix society, and want everything all too easily. If you want to go and fish places like Pendle view, Wyreside or anywhere else where they treat you like animals being packed onto a cattle truck, then thats your choice and good luck with your fishing.
If thats not what you want then take off your blinkers, and look around you.
The waters are there And some of them are free
If your prepared to put in some real time and effort, there are some golden fish at the end of the rainbow
