I went down to visit a mate pre lockdown and stopped a night on whitefriars with him before having a tour of a few of the other waters in the area. All depends on what you're looking for. Obviously whitefriars is a large low stock pit which can get VERY busy. We dropped in on the other lakes but they were also very busy so didnt walk them fully and headed off to other larger waters in the area. Looks like a busy club and that means it's likely to be good fishing and well maintained.

Cheers, yes it was pretty busy when I walked it recently.any other recommendations for waters in this area?

Was looking at syndicates , but pretty much same fully booked up and long waiting lists. I have been fishing Linear a lot , but need to get away from the ridiculous  buckets and constant when you off mate. Probably sign of the times , and no better elsewhere.

Any recommendations appreciated   im 12 miles from Swindon , but happy to travel.

I was at linear walking behind a guy with a load of white buckets all jammed into the one,  he then placed 2 buckets in different swims, I caught up with him and had a chat he said he’s been around the complexed and found some nice swims. what about all the buckets I say ,  oh I just leave them and pick the best  swim. 😳😡

Its madness , I was on Oxlease last year and two anglers genuinely put buckets in pegs 14 and 15. Went to collect gear from van , on arriving back to pegs two mainline sponsored anglers remaining nameless had thrown buckets over the fence and all their gear in the swims these gents had bagged.

Did they report them to the bailiff or Chris… or Mainline ? Got to be fair the bailiffs are on the ball.

The ballif was on the ball and it got sorted out. But just an example of lengths people go too.

Linear is well run , Chris and his team do a fantastic job , thankless task sometimes.

I’m booked on at Oxlease with a mate in a couple off weeks looking forward to it, but a Syndicate is the way to go…. if you can get on one that is, best of luck finding one 👍

[Gilesc]

Thanks , looking for anyone to advise on here

We did a little tour as I said, looking on google maps now we went round Coke's pit which is lovely, and the two big pits on the opposite side of the road, theres all sorts of water sports going on there and as country park. These two were very low stock but some cracking fish. Featured on a sticky or thinking anglers video, the crayfish man. Neigh bridge was the other one, opposite South Cerney Dabchick lake. Again a low stock lake but stunning fish. 

Sadly I have no idea how to join any of the above mentioned.

I toyed with joining the waterpark clubs a few times , But busy lakes & otters have put me off tbh . I fish churn pool most years which is always enjoyable & can recommend booking on there with a couple mates .
