Joe,
try Hardwick Hall at M1 Junction 29. Not the most prolific venue but as picturesque a water as you'll ever fish. Carp to 20+ plus large tench, perch & bream. Day tickets about £5, run by National Trust, season 16th Jun to 28th Feb. Was netted a couple of years ago and some large fish removed. Some locals reckon lots of biggest fish were removed (sold off?).
Also Pebley Reservoir nr Worksop - 10 mins from M1 Junction 30.
