Hi

It's great to be a part of this community.

I fished through my early years and teens but then it dropped off. A couple of weeks ago I asked my kids, 6 and 8, if they wanted to go fishing and they said yes. Unpacked all my old gear and been twice now. No luck at None Go Bye but struck gold for my eldest at Tom's Pond on Monday.

Looking for nice local venues for my kids to catch some fish so any suggestions welcome.

HI, Barry welcome back not the best time of year to start again lol,but the benefit is that as the weather gets better so will the fishing, plenty of info on different venues to go at Toms pond is more or less guaranteed to catch a few.

Hi Warden

Nice to meet you

It's been a bit cold and windy but the kids are loving it. Had a few fish from Tom's Pond, missed a load of bites, but I'd forgot how quick the bites can be. Took me a while to get my eye in

Try birkwood near Stanley ferry in Wakefield there's about 6 lakes
Check their website some ponds have matches on them at the weekend

Cheers map1 for the recommendation. I have Birkwood on my list already, as I fancied giving the canal and river a go at some point, but I'll bump it up my list and let you know how it goes when we have been
