I've just started to get back into coarse fishing and wanted to know where to get some practice and shake of the cobwebs in and around Colchester! Anyone got any ideas?? cheers

Try the Snake pit on the road to fingeringhoe.

you will need a C.a.p.s ticket which covers other lakes in the area as well.

CAPS have got plenty of waters You can join in the local tackle shops. Miles of the river stour and plenty of lakes to choose from. Though the snake is probably not a great choice if your just starting back again.

Don't forget the river Colne itself. It runs right through the heart of Colchester.

 

It might not have the reputation of rivers such as the Hampshire Avon or Dorset Stour but, maybe, just maybe, it has hiddden delights... stretches of it may well be exquisite and open up big fish to you. Good luck.

Quite right, The colne is underated, And not really fished that much by the serious specimen hunter but it does hold a few secrets for those willing to put in the time.
