From an angling perspective such waters can prove to be the most frustrating. In my area there are a number of waters that fall into this catagory, that have been fished intensely for eighty years or more. In the main due to their proximity to the city of Sheffield. Contrary to what may be assumed, several of these waters are set in beautiful surroundings. But oh so very ''hard'' to come to grips with. But, should you overcome the oft quoted ''heartbreak water'', the rewards can be amazing with fish that can rival even the most celebrated waters.
Just a sample, Pike to over 35lbs, Roach to 2lb12oz, Perch up to 5lbs and Bream topping 11lbs. Not bad for waters that most would discount.
Has anyone else got experience of such waters.
