Carp / tench fishing around Northampton area?

[MotherHen]

Hey, just decided to sign up and see what people reckon are some of the best + most productive carp / tench venues in the Northampton area. I live in Towcester so the closer the better! Been to Heyford fishery quite a bit aswell as Gayton Wood Farm. Heard about Canons Ashby fishery but haven't been so any help is appreciated. Would be looking for day ticket venues where I could spend a day catching with the chance of something big. Always had a part of me that loves catfishing so if they're in there then even better! Thanks

Billing Aquadrome was pretty famous at one time.

Try Castle Ashby, plenty of Tench and Carp to go after and it's a reasonably priced day ticket water

Thanks for the replies.

 

Castle Ashby is quite a way from where I live really but I might give it a go one day

Billing Aquadrome is quite a way aswell and haven't been there in years but its a possibility

I've scoured fishinginnorthamptonshire.com multiple times for somewhere ideal as well lol.

Might visit Sywell Reservoir when I get the chance Thankyou
