carp lakes in tamworth area

[rvj]

hi all,

 

i have just moved to the tamworth area, and like normal my girlfriend who is local has no idea of any carp lakes.

 

i was hoping that somebody will be able to help out? i am looking for any good size lakes in the tamworth area (20mile radius) which has plenty of features, offers a good size head count of carp which includes 30's and 40lb+, allows night fishing.

Hi mate and welcome to the forum

 

First of all comisorations on moving to Tamworth

 

Secondly have a search through the Uk Where to fish section, Places in Tamworth come up a fair amount, also use the search typing in Tamworth, Pretty pigs, Lamb AC etc etc

 

(P.s not sure on the size of fish though)

Hi Richie, welcome to this cracking forum. I see that you're happy to travel out a bit and would suggest that you try Willesley Lake, on the outskirts of Ashby de la Zouch.

Night fishing is allowed and, while it doesn't hold 40's, there are some very nice fish in there.

Midweek is best as it can get busy. It's a very pretty place with recently opened toilet/shower block. Not too many rules, common sense, really.

Check it out on www.Fisheries.co.uk

 

Enjoy!

1) Riddings on the A5 in dordon

2) Barrow Pit which is next to the snow dome

3) The farm fishery just passed dryton manor.... You will have to ring up Fosters in Birmingham tackle shop

4) Kingsbury water park but only has day fishing only

[fishermanjoe]

you can get away with nights at kingsbury

 

the wardens dont come round the lake just go round to who they can see just dont put your bivvy up until late

they do, a bloke told me they do random checks just after dark. And if they catch you they will ban you.

bonehill used to be full of snags, untill neal took over the place and ruined it!!

the riddings has never done a 40! i know the bloke whos had the biggest, tht was nearly 10 yeas ago now, and its not been out at that size since, infact hardly any decent fish come out any more!

youl struggle to find fish of that size without travelling abit further afield, other than at cuttle mill but thats no night fishing!

try and find out how big the fish go on the berkswell syndicate, that could be worth a try! get down pine pool if your after a steady stream of 20's

nites can be done, but no sleeping and definatley no bivvy, there for wimps anyway!!!!

Heard the same mate they had a few problems with polish and albanians etc fishing at night so they have upped the security.....

wooton wawen has at least 2 x 40's in it if you can put up with the management
