chillfactor Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Pete if you do look back in on the forum. Have you had a look at cromwell lake does get busy as it's a popular venue for anglers up that way & further a field. But it does hold fish well over 40 lb & has a good head of 30's . Probably with in 30 / 40 minutes from Nottingham. Facilities are second to none crystal clear lake can get weedy & is by no means an easy lake, everyone who has attended socials there over the years will testify to that It's gets mentioned on the carp cast a fair bit as Jamie clossick fishes it a fair bit . Might be worth a look for you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chillfactor Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Have you phoned them ? I think I'm right in saying you might have to book on these days . I've only ever fished there on complete lake bookings on socials. Best phone them to avoid a wasted journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harpz_31 Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 pete if you want to be catching 20lb fish on a regular basis you need to be joining a syndicate mate theres a place in Ilkeston called manor floods but its got about a 2 year waiting list I haven't fished it for about 5 years but I had my first 30 from there and countless 20lb'ers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
