IM LOOKING FOR SOME WINTER ACTION,WHERE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND? A WATER WITH LOTS OF DOUBLES AND MAYBE A FEW TWENTIES WOULD BE IDEAL.

I'd suggest Layer Pits, run by Colchester Angling Preservation Society.

Their website doesn't seem to load, so I'd suggest contacting your local tackle shop.

Walthamstow 1&2 chuck up quite a few fish in the winter, decent size ones aswell.

That must be only 30 minutes for you.

Terry , other than looking at I have not fished it.I know Danny Fairbrass has fished it a bit , and I recall a few articles by him following sessions there.If you try him through Korda or the Anglers Mail I am sure he will help. I fish a the Relief Channel near there and judging by the buzzer action it is a prolific water.It is day ticket and night fishing is allowed.Another thing to try is to speak to the staff at Simpsons of Turnford they are usually on the ball. Tight lines.

There's no night fishing on Walthamstow.
The office opens at 7am and prices were ?6 last year.

Best chance of action is 1&2 although most of the big lumps come out of the Lower and Higher thru the winter.

I live in Cheshunt 10 mins from the res's.
this time of year the Higher Maynard is probably your best bet.Fish fairly tight to one of the two islands.Theres a common around 38lbs comes out to the lucky ones.
If you want a quick bash em out water just to get a bend in your rod try Holyfields at fishers green lane ,Waltham Abbey.
Have you tried the one at Bulphan Park called Burrows Farm in down town Essex ?

I had my fair share out of the relief chanel at the begining of the season,the best being 15 fish in two nights but the bigger fish evaded me again.But who cares when you are fishing in such pleasant surroundings.I'm going back over christmas to try and tempt one of the bigger fish that have found their way into the chanel durring last winters flooding.
There is an outside chance one of them could be very very close to 40lb now.
Tickets are now half price for the venue so check out the RMC site on rmcangling.co.uk.
Sorry for the blatant plug Graham.
