Rusty, where is this lake? Do you know anything about the little place just across the bridge from the volunteer pub? Cheers

Ant, great report and you have given me abit of an insight to linear which im planning to head over and try in the next couple of weeks. can you use barbed hooks or is it barbless only? I have googled and youtubed linear but they havent helped me find the answer. I hope i manage to do half as well as you did when i go but i will be targeting carp.

All i have been planning a trip to linear and ive been told that zigs work best at these lakes, do you have to spod to use zigs because ive never used a spod before and was planning on using pva bags. Has anyone got any advice on this or any other rigs/ bait which i would be better off using? cheers tom

i seem to be having a bit of a drought with my fishing at the moment no matter what i try i just dont seem to be catching. anyone having/ or had this problem?

chris, you say you join every year how much is it for membership and is there a joining fee?

does anyone know how much it is to join thatcham aa or if they allow day ticket fishing on their lakes?

I only started fishing back in august and due to work i dont get to go as much as i would like, but my target is to land a double. To most it sounds simple and most may laugh but we all gota start somewhere and confidence is one thing i need to build on in my fishing

No body has any help or advice? Well i am going in the morning and il update how i get on... Fingures crossed well! Its my second time pikein and the first time i blanked.

thanks steve i will get down to acorn soon, do you know if the stretch near the marina is free... i dont really know much about the thames... what tactics should i use for the river? ive done some fishing in lakes maily targeting carp but i caught a tench at lauras of about 4lb and now i want to fish the rivers what breaking strain line should i use? alot of questions i know but trying todo some home work to give my self the best start

All, im considering joining sutton courtenay a c but most of their waters are parts of the thames to which i have never fished a river before... Can anyone sugest a good part of the river to start and what is the best bait to use... Also would it be best to use a float or a cage feeder? Thanks in advance

Hi all, can anyone provide any information for fishing around geldeston. I live in oxford but will be visiting family that way for a few days. I will be fishing mainly for pike but happy to catch anything. Can anyone recommend anywhere particular to fish, what bait works or maybe someone we could get in contact with who will know? Cheers all
