Chris Plumb 464 Posted May 11, 2004 I'm a member of Newbury AA and Thatcham AA - not got details with me ATM - will send you a PM tonight! Where abouts do you live?

The fishing's total carp down there. Small perch and that's about it. Best stay in the pub in Basingstoke DG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
12ft kerplunk 0 Posted May 13, 2004 im in the NAA, you need to live within a certain distance of newbury town centre, i think its about 12 miles. They have some brilliant lakes right by the discovery centre and some nice rivers that i havnt tried yet. Wouldnt bother with the canal to many crayfish, cyclists and barges to have much fun really, the lakes are very well kept and stocked though. theres a £5 entry fee to the club, senior permits are £40 this years the first time i have to pay for one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Plumb 464 Posted May 14, 2004 sTench: some nice rivers that i havnt tried yet. Why not!! They've got miles of prime Kennet beats. Aldermaston, Brimpton, Colthrop, Thatcham, Widmead, Hambridge, Speen Moors - Miles of bank - worth the membership fee on thier own.

12ft kerplunk 0 Posted May 14, 2004 im planning on going to try them out this year, ive never caught a barbel and its been an ambition of mine for ages now. i have only been fishing for 4 years been in the NAA for 3 so i havnt got round to trying as many places as ive liked yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Plumb 464 Posted May 14, 2004 sTench: ive never caught a barbel Fish the beats below Newbury then - rumoured to be the odd one at Speen - but this is really prime chubbing territory (plus big perch/bream/pike). Brimpton/Colthrop probably gives you the best chance to lose your barbel virginity, more fish but generally smaller (with one or two VERY notable exceptions ). Aldermaston has a better stamp of fish though it also has more signals :mad: and you should be prepared to blank more than you catch!) Nice to have another Royals fan on the forum!!!!
