Well sounds abit silly,but obviously the river nene. i fish the river towards wellingborough and very rarely blank. The fish aren't that big though (doubles), but with floods etc large carp could be anywhere in the nene.

I have done around three sessions on the Nene (around Ringstead and Irthlinborough) I have only had two fish out (chub and a bream), but I have lost more than my fair share of carp

 

I know a bloke who had a thirty out the Nene, but he won't say where abouts
