Richworth Complexe

[mhmatt]

All being well next year myself and Tyke66 (aka Doug) are thinking of heading down to fish one of the lakes for a 48hr week in March. I was wondering if any of you guys have taken on the lakes down there, if so which lakes and how did you get on? The complex looks awesome and I'm looking forward to getting down.

Any info would be great.

Thanks MHMatt

go mid week, its rammed solid at weekends and people that live close know where to head to, ring the balif for info WHEN you get down there cos chance is by time you arrive he will have told half dosen people same.
last time i went we walked around EVERY pit and mangaed to get into a peg people were leaving, in mid october!

It is exceptionally busy but the lake stocks are well managed and they contain some superb fish. Try and go sunday afternoon or midweek.

I broke a couple of pbs on my first visit a couple of years ago (St John's road bank)



can't get onto photobucket now, i'll post the tench later

[mhmatt]

Cheers guys, dont think there will be much chance of us getting there mid-week tho I'll defo give the baliff a ring in a few weeks or so and see how its getting on down there.

I've fished Hardwick for the Tench, indulging in a couple of trips for the last three years running. The first year it was fine, the second year it had become a bit busier and last year was for me a nightmare. The main problem was that the fish were quite localised; that and the fact that a 'personality' doing a feature for 'improve' had spread his rods between the only two swims where the tench were showing. I recon with a bit of research you should be able to find a carp or tench venue which gives you a much better chance of catching a few good fish without competing with dozens of others. Try checking out the following club/venue websites..and surf the net

Blunham AC
Milton Keynes AC
Vermulam angling association
Feltham piscatorials
Cemex Angling
Mid kent fisheries
Watermead country park (council run)
Lea Valley regional parks

Hope this helps

I'm like a little kid waiting for Christmas at the minute. We're heading down there early hours of next Friday and counting the days (Matt's just as bad as me....nay...worse lol). It will probably be the only time this year that I get to fish a British water that holds 30's. Hope the weather stays settled and the carp are on the munch
