North East Pike

Anyone know of any good Pike fisheries in the Tyne and Wear area. Have been told about a lake near Washington, The Willows I belive it was called has anyone fished it?

 

Any info greatfully received.

the lake you refer to is also known as barmston lake, a mixed coarse fishery which holds some big carp and pike, was free fishing until foxpond fisheries took it overearlier this year .i believe that you can still fish it on a day ticket £3.50 on the bank.but do check first as they will be removing the coarse fish out soon to make way for a trout fishery. for more info go to http://www.foxpondfishery.com

Called at Fox Ponds Trout Fishery to get directions to The Willows Reservoir today the guy in the shop was very helpfull. Buy the way The Willows is next to the Swan Ind Est near Barmston/Washington.

 

Just as I was leaving someone caught a 14lb rainbow, now I'm no fluff chucker but that's a big fish.
