hello there....yoggy is a whittlesey man and knows some cracking waters in and around his area and also like to venture out my way etc...
i live in corby,northants and although i tend to favour the nene now and its tributaries i have fished a few lakes,pits commercials etc....
rik,ringstead island is a cracking place to fish...you have two bloody huge lakes-barkers and brightwells,you have a cracking section of back brook there as well,there is also a section of the nene and there is also a match type lake.
next to ringstead island,you have ringstead grange trout fishery which is an excellent place for all you fluff flingers to visit.
opposite to this,you have a day ticket lake whos name escapes me,also there is a day ticket stretch of the nene at the mill which is packed with fish especially when the main river is in flood.also next to all this lot is kevin maddocks syndicate lake which held the brittish record carp.
down the road at denford there is some day ticket fishing on the nene where your cars are safe enough.at the top end of denford heading towards ringstead is a day ticket stretch that holds one hell of a shoal of bream!!!
next to the nene at thrapston there is day ticket fishing on three lakes and your cars are safe as well.
heading out northampton way....you could try lakeside at towcester,you need to ring up and book in advance here and they only allow six anglers a day on these lakes.
if its method feeder fishing etc that takes your fancy then you could try drayton resevoir,naseby resevoir,boddington resevoir or castle ashby etc...or nearer to northampton,how about billing aquadrome???
if its a private/family run fishery/lake you are after with safe secure parking and you dont get hassled by folk and if you are disabled,you can drive your tackle to your peg,weather permitting.then i can personally reccomend a place but it will cost ?100 a year to join.this is a really pleasant place to fish,i used to be a member and it has something for everyone.
someone mentioned buying a copy of fishing in northants,availiable in quite a few tackle shops and newsagents....i`,d reccomend this as its full of good fishing.if you have trouble finding a copy then let me know and i`ll send you my one free of charge ok....
any other questions,i`ll do my best to help...
