Guest Anonymous Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 Hi mate, welcome to the forum... it's nice to see an honest username Alton Water didn't look very inviting the other day Although it's just up the road from me I don't actually fish it, I walk my dogs round it... 9 miles all the way round! Feels like 29 I have heard that although there are some Carp in there it's mainly good size Pike & monster Bream Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 Alton is very hard for Carp Fishing, and the size and Rules make it even harder. Its over 350 acres in size There are a few Carp in there, to over 30lbs, but there is NO Night Fishing allowed, there are No Fishing Areas. Anyone who catches Carp out of the Reservoir will have done: a) a lot of hard work finding them b) almost definitely broken the rules Quote
shakey Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 Anyone who catches Carp out of the Reservoir will have done: a) a lot of hard work finding them b) almost definitely broken the rules True, but it will be like fishing Ardleigh a few seasons ago when the place still had some air of mystery and un-caught whacker potential, and wasn't a circus like it is turning into now Just having that thought in the back of your head "what might be" when the buzzer finally goes off would be worth all the hard work and rule bending. I say go for it Catchnotalot, but don't forget to send us the pictures Quote
sparsholt Posted April 13, 2007 Report Posted April 13, 2007 Is it true that there are carp to over 30lb in Alton. I have looked at it many times and have always hoped it held some carp. Always up for a challenge! Quote
