Evening Gents.

 

Anyone know anything about Bassingbourne, apart from it being on MOD land? I'm fishing as a guest next week and wandered if anyone has any tips/ideas?

Cant help on the fishingfront, but did my basic training there, a hell hole!

Don't know much about it but heard they had a problem with otters. Apparently it's meant to be quite weedy, but that shouldn't be so much of a problem this time of the year. I would be interested to know how you get on, as I don't live to far away, but I think they have a 8 year waiting list.

I went to an offices summer ball there years ago which was one of the best nights out I have ever had

I'll let you know how I get on late next week. As for the otters apparently they've 'managed' them!!

Afternoon gents. No fish from Bassingbourne but I must say what an excellent water, well kept and perfectly clean. Some of the fish pictures are stunning.

Where abouts on the barracks is the lake, is it near the road and was I right about the long waiting list? sorry to hear you blanked.

[barmybrando]

It's the other side of the base from the road. I'm not too sure about the waiting list to tell you the truth. I think it's more of 'who you know' etc, but from what I do know its only about 1 yr as they like to keep it short. You know what rumours a like on syndicates. They tell you 8yrs to put people off!!
