papabill Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 yeah 31 waters in total including a few stretches of river, most of the lake descriptions havent changed in 10 years so they arent very reliable, but barleylands has fish up to 30lb, check out this page mate... http://www.bdac.co.uk/ magic, absolute magic! bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtopher Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 used to belong to BDAC over 25 years ago when they first got hold of Barleyland and before that nasty farmshop and showground was there. Must go back sometime. It used to very good for roach and bream, never fished for carp in those days. I fish a ressie up in beds now. The advantage with these farm ressies is that the water level goes up and down as the farmer needs water. This leads to the lake bed constantly being covered and uncovered so the food levels are kept high and the fish seem to be bigger than in a lake with a constant level.
