calamity_carper Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 Hi guys, can any of you tell me any info about these lakes http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ll=52.596062,-1.6852&spn=0.02904,0.084543&t=h&z=14 Just wanted to know who owned them and whether they are fisheries or not and whether they contain any carp. Anything would be great. Thanks guys Quote
bart2000 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Looks like the RSPB own all or part of it http://www.rspb.org.uk/reserves/guide/m/middletonlakes/index.aspx which is a shame as it looks like a nice area, and not a million miles from me Quote

calamity_carper Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Posted March 15, 2011 I think i might have to go for a little walk round later on Quote
penker Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 RSPB own them big fine if your caught fishing them. Only there for the bird watchers;) Couple fish in them Quote
calamity_carper Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Posted March 15, 2011 well i had a walk round earlier after finding a route through all the bogs and marshes and looks very carpy, one of the lakes especially, crystal clear mostly gravel bottom but didnt see any signs of fish movement but was only there for 30 mins as the dark was closing in and we had to navigate our way back through. i think it needs another look Quote

See if there is any more species of bird to see. It does look very carpy! Quote
bart2000 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 Glad to see you're taking up bird spotting. It's good to have other interests aside from carp fishing. Quote
