fisheries near nottingham / midlands

[wozzamozza]

I have been out of the loop on the forum for a little while, but as I have received some great advice in the past and started quite a heated discussion about fishing in stocked lakes compared to wild trout on rivers, (which was unintentional) I new that this was the place to come.

 

I was planning to go up to fish Colwick lake in Nottingham at the end of February, until I realized that it was closed for the winter. Can anyone recommend an alternative lake, maybe a smaller fishery with scenic appeal that is not too far from Nottingham?

 

Any advice, tactics etc would be very appreciated.

 

Cheers wozzamozza

There is only one other entry in the Notts area in the TF Guide. It is for "Lakeside Fishery" near Retford Tel. 01777 818524. Sorry - don't know anything about it but good luck anyway

Thanks for the help although i've just had a look and it appears to be a course fishing mainly carp i've had a browse around and found a place called Willington Lake Trout Fishery, which looks very nice and is open all year.

 

i'll send a report in of how i get on.

 

if anyone has been there, i'd appreciate any tips
