Angling Breaks

[DonRamos]

Hello all, I am after a little advice.

 

Myself and 3 friends are looking to take a long weekend fishing break in the Spring of 2007. I have trawled through numerous websites and the angling press looking for a place where we can stay and fish their lakes.

 

Essentially what we would like is some good general course lakes (monster carp are not a priority as none of us generally fish for them) and if at all possible some good river to fish, and somewhere to stay. We live in the South East of England though are willing to travel to pretty much anywhere within England, Scotland or Wales for our break.

 

Does anybody have anywere they could recommend to me?

 

Thanks in advance.

Try Manor Farm Fishery on the Warkwickshire Avon. I helped Elton do their website some years back, and several forum members have since been and reported favourably on both the river and stillwater fishing. Go to http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/fisheries/manor.htm

Exactly where I was going to sugest! Ive fished the river there but not the still waters they have.The stretch of river there has quite a bit of variety from big barbell to roach to zander to big carp! Also there is a lot of variety in the river itself.

The lakes at Manor Farm are a bit like hook a duck type fishing and a lot of matches are fished there.

 

The river is nice to fish but can be very unpredictable.

Oh and in the boating season it can be a nightmare.

Thanks guys, looks good.

 

Will mail them closer to the time to see if anything available, as we may well have to go during the close season now due to work etc and therefore will need to be stillwaters.

If stillwaters then why not Wylands! not much of a drive for you they have caravans and a choice of lakes.

One place I can personally recommend for stillwater fishing is Ashby Farms in Appledore, Kent.
