carefulcarping Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 My geography is terrible so sorry if this is a long way away. But my answer to your question would be; Drayton Reservoir, in Daventry, near Northampton. Just a reservoir full of carp and pike, but pike rarely see anything coz the carp are so active, the like stay deep and out of the way. Everytime you get a run there you can guarantee it's a double figure carp, don't no how many carp are in there but is very heavily stocked. Biggest runs water I know of and basically if you don't catch there something is seriously wrong with what you done, but when you catch there it's a confidence booster for you to take your Rigs to a more difficult water. Plenty of videos on YouTube to watch on Drayton. Also this is the best time of year to go. The ressy supplies water to the grand canal, meaning the water levels drop a good 6 feet! So a less of an area for the carp to swim in meaning they are even easier to find. Hope this helps. Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carefulcarping Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Anytime mate, always happy to help. I would recommend Drayton but dunno how far it is for you, but try fisheries.co.uk? Plenty if fisheries on there, I always find useful for finding places on your doorstep that I've never known where there. Goodluck on you decision Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
