Cool thanks for the info Hoping to get a good day and get my dad into a few doubles so that he can catch the bug

[drayton reservoir]

Quick question do they open the gates at 6.30am still? And what's it like in the week I.e is it easier to get parked etc as considering taking my dad up on a fri so as he can catch his first carp above 3lb

[Nellbridge Ayno]

It's in ayno near Banbury so Oxfordshire/Northamptonshire

 

Debating whether to go here or somewhere else just want to go somewhere fairly local to Aylesbury that's not to difficult as will only be going for around 8hrs max

Has anyone been here recently? not been in a long time but thinking of going on specimen lake but just wondering what its like up there

[drayton reservoir]

lol ill have a look then ive never even walked round to that side ive always headed towards the boathouse and gone along that side so will give the 90's ago

 

thanks for the inside info

[drayton reservoir]

sorry to sound dumb but wheres peg 90? ive always tried to get close to the boat house bit as been told thats one of the better areas? (only been twice though)

 

 

Also is there any other parking other than the little bit by the dam wall?

[drayton reservoir]

if we do go itll be early and stay all day as dnt wanna risk getting up there later on and not being able to park as done that once before drove for 2 hours to get there then couldnt park lol

[drayton reservoir]

not good then dunno whether to bother on sat now as taking my dad along for the first time as he's never caught a carp bigger than around £4 so thought where better to catch than Drayton but dnt wanna put him off by blanking. Descisions Descisions lol

[drayton reservoir]

What time do they open the gate at Drayton can't remember as long time since I've been

[drayton reservoir]

cool thanks

[drayton reservoir]

Anyone been lately? if so what does it fish like this time of year? considering going up there in a few weeks but have heard mixed storys really

[drayton reservoir]

fished here sunday and was a good day allthough only caught 3 carp and a jack pike myself but others were catching alot more, bit disappointed with the venue as went with my disabled brother so most spots were no good, also can see what everyone means about the poor condition of the fish's mouths etc + also a shame that at least half the people we came across were doing nothing but adding to that damage

[drayton reservoir]

oh good to hear its still fishing well hopefully head over there sunday afternoon with my little brother see if we can get a few and his first carp (over 4lb)

[drayton reservoir]

Is drayton still as good and easy nowadays ive not been in years and looking to get on a easyish venue to gain some confidence back after drawing a blank on my last 5 outings at local venues lol, so basically is it still worth the 2 hour trip it takes to get there

 

many thanks
