Just had a look through the Cromwell website.. Looks phenomenal. Definitely going to fish there this year! Lining up a good year travelling round fishing. Thanks guys

I actually live in derby, gonna have to look into that. Are you implying that willesley is unsafe? Doesn't sound too bad to me. Just going to have a read up on bluebell lakes now. I've fished drayton res before now which is where I caught my PB. Not the best looking fish (clearly mistreated), but it put up a good fight. Bluebell lakes are 80 miles away, so I'm presuming you have had some good sessions there I have spent a lot of time fishing at hemington, next to the a50. A very small lake but it's close to home and I love the place in summer.

I don't really mind travelling a few miles to a decent lake mate! Also the money side doesn't matter, you get what you pay for... If there's a good head of 20s and maybe a few 30s I will pay upto 30 quid for 24hours if need be! My PB is 19lb 2oz, so of course I'm looking to beat that, but a nice atmosphere and chance at a decent fish will suit me nicely!

I am looking for a decent carp water in the midlands (ideally east but I'm willing to travel). I am aware of willesley, and I will definitely be fishing that over the next couple of weeks. I am also aware of the fact that the East Midlands lacks in carp waters! Well from what I can gather anyway... Does anybody know of anything other than this? Fish on my own a lot, so if anybody fancies a good session, PM me - it would be nice to have some company. Joe
