Hi Hermes,

A good place to try is the lea at Hartham in Hertford. You can fish the canal or river lea and there is a few good spots across the football pitch in the Bean. I think it is controlled by the LAC and is day ticket. I have fished it regularly but I've never seen a baliff.

Thanks for the info mates, I will have a rethink!

Hermes, you can also fish day ticket on the river Lea at Stanborough Lakes. There is a short stretch that runs along the Lake. I believe it has some nice barbel, chub and a few carp. It can get quite busy though.

There's also a free stretch around Wheathampstead. I've not fished it but I've heard it's quite good (I've fished club water stretches either side and they both produce good catches (quantity rather than specimen). Hatfield Angling would most probably have details if you gave them a call.
