Kingfisher and Swan Lakes on Bluebell complex have been much quieter since the big two fish died. I fished Kingy in Sept and there were only about 5 anglers on it - same on Swan!

 

Plenty of cracking big fish - if you want to pay the price and take your chance :wink:

 

Stanwick has already been mentioned - but what about Barnwell Country park - think thats day ticket (day only)?

 

Reckon you may aswell get one of the many club tickets - loads of lakes and river stretches with big fish for next to nothing per season. Some of the syndicates are cheap too and a few free lakes around if you ask about - jammy so and sos! :wink:

Carl the weed stays all winter long on elsons and its alive with grub. The trick is not to spend too much time marking and thrashing the water. If you keep that to a minimum and watch for signs of carp instead. Rig wise just use something you are happy is going to fish ok even in the weed. I know for a good period that sticks worked and kept the hook clear. Use some foam in it to float the hook over the weed and it will drop slowly on top. Good luck for next year.
