blimey nick,that's some organised chaos

been looking at this on google maps and looks a great lake,but can't find anything recent on this place....any info from anyone this is not to be confused with the 2 lakes on the farm opposite,it's a single lake probably half a mile or so across the road and a couple of fields. only info i could find is about 5-7 years old,no recent reports so any help would be grateful.

cheers colin,i did have a wander along a small part of the river a couple of months ago down to the lock keppers cottage on the common..didn't go any further. can you park anywhere near the a10 bridge??

cheers kev,hopefully will be a good day if i don't freeze

Banjo or Stock Pit? http://www.visitleevalley.org.uk/en/content/cms/outdoors/places-to-fish/banjo-lake/ http://www.visitleevalley.org.uk/en/content/cms/outdoors/places-to-fish/stock-pit/ cheers nick they look like a good choice...only 8 miles from me too,gonna have a look at them sometime in next 2 weeks

i'm not doing an overnighter now,change of plans. BUT will be on the bank first thing new years day as i won't be out new years eve.

cheers phil,i did have a walk round it about a year ago,think i met his wife at the lock and she let me have a wander down to brooke lake. chatted with a couple of guys on there,seemed like a friendly bunch and ur right about the trek if ya don't drive down there

yeah i have fished there during the day,but due to the fact that its also a camping site,not sure if i would be on my own,so to speak also thinking of willows in st.albans. don't know any others though?

hi all,just wondered if anyone can give me any info on SAFE places to night fish as close to Hertford as possible for new years eve. Gonna be on my own so want a secure lake. don't fancy any late night visits by beer'd up chavs

just wondering if anyone knows of any FREE fishing lakes or stretchs of river banks in Hertford/Ware?? Any info would be good,i keep trying online but there doesn't seem to be much info out there,have found plenty of waters on google maps though but obviously don't know if you can fish for free etc etc. cheers guys.

i have recently moved down the road from these lakes and they look very good. anyone got any recent info on them would be apprieciated.

that's old news...it was all sorted ages ago and was mainly with the old owners from what i know,it changed owners a couple of years ago and is very well run and looked after now.

fitzy...the whole place is a gravel pit so "gravely" leads etc would be best camoflage. personally if there are no features to fish to i tend to cast one rod out about a third of the way out and one about half way..but if there is someone opposite me then one a third of the way out and one about a rod length from the tip of my other rod.

i was on the left as you go in on the match lake casting out to the island rob..blanked all day..but it was bloody cold think i will try the other end next time i go,up where the match lake joins the farm lake,i have heard it can be good up there. was using scopex boilies then switched to pellets...the only thing eating my pellets were the bloody seagulls i have also been told that on the right just before the pilons is a good spot on match lake as apparantly that is where they stock the lake from.

when i went the farm lake had flooded into the match lake is there anything stopping the fish from swimming between the two or will they now be in either lake
