Yes i looked into willesley a while back, its out of my price range and the lease is outrageous for a lake that hasnt been stocked for 14 yrs, plus you take on the liability of the dam which could be very costly should any problems arise.
A lovely lake though, could do with desilting too.
Hanson donated dozens of great gravel pits along the tame valley to the RSPB 200+ acres, such a shame the RSPB hate Anglers
Im really looking for a lease rather than to buy ive explored buying with a few banks but they dont like lending on fisheries?
Thanks for all your replies though, when i do find one it will become a top class carp lake, and i will look after anyone that helps along the way.
