Hi all,
I would like to join a venue or two this year to enjoy the odd session of float and ledger fishing. I require the venues to be in Earith, Needingworth or Somersham, in Cambridgeshire.
I looked into this last summer and even looked at a couple of venues (a small lake complex in Over) and the river in Bluntisham. Both had massive amounts of weed present which I would snag on every cast. Clearly, these venues are no good for me (or anyone).
1) Please can someone suggest a venue in Earith/Needingworth/Somersham, or very close by (travelling by cycle), that is quiet, scenic and has Tench/Bream/Small Carp/Perch (fish around 2lb-15lb). My aim is to relax in quiet and secluded (away from road noise) place with the hope of catching something bigger than a roach?
2) When I fished many years ago I never come across so much weed trouble. Has there been a weed explosion problem in the last few years or so? If yea, what is the cause of it?
Thanks in advance.
