I fished Brayton last summer and it was the best bit of fishing I'd done all year was their for about 8 hours had 9 lost 4 all around the 10-15lb mark and I was bushed when we packed up! If you get chance get on it! Lunchoen meat soaked in betain or spicy pepparami the flaming hot one on a simple bolt rig.

Where about's are you based! If your up near Cockermouth then the best place I can recommend is Brayton pond www.braytonpond.co.uk in Aspatria its full of wild carp that go like steam trains and fight till your arms sore!!! If your closer to my neck of the woods being Windermere then their is loads of local ponds on our syndicate WADAA check out www.lakedistrictfishing.net and click on the WADAA side for info on our ponds best one's being Ratherheath tarn, Atkinsons and Cleabarrow. Problem being though you will have to be a member to fish them. I would also recommend Borwick Fishery in Carnforth www.borwickfishing.co.uk its a brilliant fishery with loads of different waters to choose from and is probably the best all round fishery in cumbria. And adding to the comments about Holehird tarn, yes unfortunately Holehird is now empty from all fish as the water level was dropped and remaining fish were removed last winter by "hand" didn't need to be netted as their was about 20 or so fish left mainly Carp and Tench. Crying shame it was so badly devastated by the otters, it was once a great water and is now sadly missed. R.I.P Holhird tarn. Hope this helps.
