Quite handy this...

It is handy, but take the information given with a pinch of salt. I'm sure my local commercial would be horrified to learn that night fishing was banned, especially as they recently spent a lot of money on building cabins for the long-stay carpers on the specimen pool...

LOL ooops!

i've checked some of the info on local waters (to me) its a bit off in places but generally ok should be a good resource (bookmarked it)

[siara]

had the quick look,and i think it serves its purpose well.

Its nice to see the note:"You will need a valid Environment Agency rod licence to fish at this venue."

Well it's turned up a fishery in Southend that I never even knew existed!

 

I'm off for an explore tomorrow!

Interesting. It comes up with this:

Main fish species

Barbel, Carp, Chub, Perch, Roach

 

I'm a member of South Cerney, and have fished the Ray a couple of times. I had a few chub on spinners, if I remember rightly. I wasn't aware of it having any head of barbel worth mentioning, though. There was a significant pollution incident not that long ago, and I don't remember mention of barbel amongst the casualties.

They must have barbel on the brain - they're also claiming that they're in the Trent & Mersey!

It is a useful site for checking locations, though - I've just found a fishery close to the mother-in-law's at Seaford (Sussex) which might prove good as a bit of an escape route...

It says that there are catfish in my local stretch of the Leeds & Liverpool canal . So while its seems good for locating waters, the site does say that you should check details before fishing.

Overall its a very good idea. but it needs somehow who can research the pools better (species, rules, bans) as it says my local bans night fishing and doesnet mentiont perch as a species and thats the main species in the lake and the site will be perfect.

about half the pools in my area are on the site. so thats a good start but it doesent mention the better pools just the ones you can see of the moterway or road none that are out down lanes and all that.
