I recently fished at a venue Called Lakeview Fisheries near crawley in West Sussex, www.lakeview-fisheries.co.uk and had the most fantastic day out catching carp to over 18lb, Crucians, Tench, Perch, skimmers, Roach and even a small Koi.
The fishery is over 200 years old and the owners have really worked hard on making the swims and platforms. Each swim can accomodate a bivvy and night fishing is allowed for over 16yrs olds, and the bailiff tells me he has three upper 20's and hundreds of smaller carp.
So if anyone is looking for a really nice day out check out the web site.

 Well, I was fishing dace and roach legered at Teston Bridge Angling. After about 1hr 30mins I got about 20 knocks on my bite alarm. I looked round and a massive pike had taken my deadbait. I tried reeling it in and I couldn't so I grabbed my rod with two hands and pulled it up.
Once it came to the top after 45 mins of trying, everyone came over and said it was the big one everyone was talking about.
I got it in the landing net and grabbed the forceps and scales and weighed it. After the scales stopped it measuered 31lb 9oz. Everyone couldn't believe I caught it because i'm only 13.

Ed: What a great fish Jordan. Congratulations from all at UK Fisherman.
The River Dane is a great fishing fishery for game coarse and match anglers. It holds from trout, perch, pike, barbel, grayling and roach. It has fish going in to their teens. It is situated in Styal right next to Styal Park, leading into the River Bollin.

Have been fishing at Pondwood Fisheries (in Berkshire) for a few years now, its a great place and always have a great time catching lots of catfish and carp.
I am Paddy from a charity called "PADS ARMY". I was at Monk Lakes, Staplehurst, Kent over the weekend and fished Bridge Lake from one of the disabled platforms that have been built by the owner and my charity. There is another on Puma. These platforms accommodate a wheelchair with ease. We are in talks with the owner to get some more built for the disabled anglers. I would recommend the fishery as the staff are very helpful and will give advise on where is the best place to fish.
I had a very enjoyable day. Well worth the £8 for two rods. Had a 17lbs 4ozs common carp out of Bridge Lake.
Oh just a thought, we have three charity matches coming up in MAY /JULY /SEPTEMBER. Hope to see you there.
Good for Monk Lakes. Its time more venues took a leaf from your book - pj, UK Fisherman
I love fishing the Lizard Lakes and I always catch something big. I would like to say the lakes are brilliant.
Lizard Fisheries in West Drayton, Middlesex does produce some great fishing and rarely disappoints. Having fished there many times I agree whole heartedly with Elliott's comments - pj, UK Fisherman.
About 35 years ago read an article in a copy of the American "Field & Stream" magazine and with my mates "Bob" Smith, "Cyril" White", "Brian" and "Jim" Quinn went "Pike Fly Fishing" on the river Thames at Henley. Using trout fly tackle, wire traces and streamer lures made from long feathers and dear hair. We caught a number of pike between us up to about 5lbs in weight and very good sport on light tackle in the river from the bank, an elderly couple who had been watching asked if we were fishing for steelheads, as they had seen the method we were using being used by anglers on their local river back home in America. Have lost touch with my old friends but reading your article on your first fly caught pike prompted me to write you of mine. With all good wishes ...
Tom Hall Wonderful memories eh Tom - ed.
Recentley fished Bedfont Lakes, Feltham. Set up method feeder with 12lbs hair rig with halibut pellet 12mm. You really need to bait up your swim to get the fish feeding. I regulary chucked in big handfalls of groundbait every half hour. Took two big mirrors at 35lbs and a big common at 36lbs ... its easy if u get this tactic right.
Great advice ... thanks Paul - ed
