Camping and fishing

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I hope you can help.

 

As the topic suggests, I am looking for a place where I can go fishing tomorrow early-ish, stay overnight and come home Saturday, depending on the weather.

 

My criteria is somewhere within approx 50 miles of Newark, Notts, where I will be pitching a small Terra Nova Voyager tent as close to the bank as possible with my fishing gear. Stillwater is probably the preference due to the flows and as I am part of Notts piscatorial, I get all the good river fishing I want when the conditions are right. Mixed species would be fine but with decent tench, roach, crucians and bream ideal. Secondary, carp, providing they are not hammered and exceed over 20lbs.

 

I am looking for somewhere as natural as possible, not commercial, and preferably as far away from people and chavs as possible; only other sensible mature anglers - I know this sounds picky but as I dont get many opportunities like this, I dont want it to be spoiled by noisy drunken bivvyers and youngster moving pegs every two seconds. I will be taking all my own food etc so toilets only would be needed.

 

Of course I am being very specific and I dont expect every aspect to be met however do please make some suggestions. I hope there are many.

 

Thanks

 

Richard

I was thinking that you hadn't mentioned prefered methods or species but you sort of had.

Sorry, that's not much use.

Surely there must be stretches of the lower trent where a concerted effort over a long session with continual feeding will bring results....

Two rods, open end feeders and LOTS of cheap bait like mashed bread, frozen corn and value cornflakes going into a tight spot again and again ?

Maybe but I think on this occasion a nice remote spot off the river is what i am, ahem, angling for.

 

Anyone?

Any thoughts anyone. My pass will soon be expiring. ;)

 

Ive done a Google search and all it seems to pull up for me are the large commercial types.
