newmarket Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Hi Rooster , long time no see Waveney Valley lakes ? http://www.waveneyvalleylakes.com Edited January 22, 2015 by newmarket roosterbooster 1 Quote
boliecrazy69 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 I personally haven't fished it,my mate fished it a year back and had a lovely 33lb common on a 24hour session im also thinking of doing 3 nights there my self in march. also linear in oxford is a nice fishery but im guessing you have heard of that! orchard farm in Kent is good, fished that many times had carp to 24lb but it stocks carp to 50lb plus and is heavily stocked. they have 8 lakes on the complex and I found lake 7 is the best fishing on either of the 2 points, there clay pits so not to much to find beneath the water but the carp are really nice in perfect condition. Once you get on the fish its excellent fishing and also on a lovely site with showers etc and pre ordered meals brought to your swim thanks tom roosterbooster 1 Quote

roosterbooster Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Posted January 22, 2015 Cromwell is a nice venue mate but they don't take bookings only exclusive and it will be very busy that time of year, thanks for the input tho fella snowmanstevo 1 Quote

markspod Posted January 23, 2015 Report Posted January 23, 2015 I've not got a place to recommend but just question a week in the UK? I do France and have been for the past 26 years (sometimes twice a year), the thing is I've been blanking up until the Thursday night before and then had a mental 36 hours!! I know had I been in England it would have been too easy to wind in and go home. Quote
jimmboy Posted January 23, 2015 Report Posted January 23, 2015 There a venue in oxford that hold 55 lb carp there's cottington lakes you can book Christine lake of or fish peper that's alright Ian chilcolts fished it in 2014 its on the fox dvd roosterbooster 1 Quote

Edited January 25, 2015 by roosterbooster Quote
markspod Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 markspod what is your question?? Just the reality of lasting a week if the going is tough, when there's an easy option to go home. I'm not having a go I just know I wouldnt last past a 3rd day of blanking in England Quote
jimmboy Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 Hi mate I have fished it fishes well with cell and hybrid and the average size is 30lb there are a few 40lb and a known 50lb I think and fished it over a year now just look on google it will all cone up mate Quote
welder Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 I'd be looking at Bluebell Lakes, Peterborough. www.bluebell-lakes.co.uk Ian rosstheangler 1 Quote
ianain Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 they race for the swims. Doesn't all that swimming put the fish off? Quote
Michael Bedborough Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 Rooster booster Elphics lakes is good if you can get on North lake I think they got a carp in there that goes to 57 lb. I know there fish are imported but what does that matter it's a big carp at the end of the day but book now if you can Quote

I know there fish are imported but what does that matter it's a big carp at the end of the day but book now if you can So rather than go abroad stay in UK and fish for fish that are from abroad surely may aswel just go abroad and fish them in the waters they belong in! bivvystreet 1 Quote
