Damo, welcome amongst us. As far as I can see Charters is an old Dutch barge converted into a bar/restaurant, moored in Peterborough's city centre. Two things, some of my most prolific fishing has been in areas least likely to be fished, like city /town centres.

Second thing, imagine how much food waste is going to be "dumped" into the river in the vicinity of this barge.

Get yourself there and fish for whatever takes your bait.  You may be surprised how few restriction for angling apply in urban areas.

Ian.

i wasnt thinking about fishing right next to the barge lol . theres plenty of spots further down . ive seen people fishing there before but not sure if they have caught anything  and yes i agree probly is alot of stinky winky that goes into that river but tbh its more the dodgy lovely people who I would give my last penny to. u gotta watch out for when around those ways haha

[damoxz28]

It changed what i wrote . alot of dodgy people hang round there but  im sure u would still have to get a day ticket but depends on how often it gets checked by a bailiff

A PDAA club ticket is like £35 or something last I checked. You’ll be covered for miles then. 
there’s carp in that stretch for sure. And huge shoals of bream. Fishing near the barge is tricky as opposite is the railings and elevated path and you won’t get next to it at all. The rail world bank has been fenced off I believe due to drug addicts and other undesirables. 

personally wouldn’t want to be doing a night there without a few mates!! You can sometimes get them going on the top but  I’m sure Pre baiting and early morning, late evening trips for and few hours will pay off.

How do Peterborough peeps pronounce it? 

Neen or Nen?

It's Neen - although I'm not local I know locals who say Nen isn't a thing at all.

I bought the ticket for Ferry Meadows and the Nene last year but never went lol - bit of a waste of money on my part 🤦‍♂️

I first heard Nen when I went to Stanick lakes (with a silent W🤔) on a carp.com social many years ago, I always called it Neen but now I am multilingual and can fit in with both cultures 😂

Plenty of carp between. Orton lock and Dog and Doublet lock. Including the free water in town.  There is a local guy doing guided fishing trips.

I grew up a mile away for the "Nen". It's the Nen to the West and as you head East and peeps get posher it's the Neen😅

It's Nene to me - you're so common! 🤦‍♂️

[elmoputney]

Is it Neen or Nen there's only one way to find out 😂

I know this is an old thread but thought I would help if I could. Ive heavily fished the Nene from Fitzwilliam Bridge to Orton for over 50 years now. It depends what youre after. Ive had massive bream nets over the bridge at the other barge, Fish right on the end of it. I night fish 90% of the time. For bream I use a night float,6lb line,size 10 hook,big chunk of flake,quite close in maybe 12 foot out not far off the tip of barge. They hoover up groundbait so once feeding give them some. Carp often shoal up with them. I had a night 2 years back when I had 12 fish over 10lb and the biggest was 14lb5oz. Amazing night but you often get 10lb+ there.
You can also get carp from same spot. Casting to far bank tho theres often guys carping there tho. Largest Ive had is 27lb on boilies.
