is it the end ?

Cakey · Dec 15, 2009

I was down at Broxbourne Mill yesterday at the famous Conkers stretch (where Bridge had his big haul of big chub) and it now looks weird that the lido has gone .
then I realised that with no lido theres no warm water back into the Lea /Lee I wonder if this is the end of the famous Conker stretch.

where the yellow canoe is on the shed is where I took top piccy

I assume money was paid to whoever for the fishing rights so now that those fishing rights have ended who pays for the upkeep of the stretch?

Don't tell me - anglers in the form of EA subscription for the benefit of boat users?!?!

Cakey,

Has the Fishers Green stretch gone to another club, or was the asking price just too high for your club?

Cakey · Dec 15, 2009

Wol has come in and confused everything
Fisher Green is about 2 miles away fom Broxbourne Mill and is on a Cemex ticket
The Conkers is on a Lee Valley Parks day ticket and is still going
£2 for a 9lb chub blimey

I have, so far, no idea what anyone is talking about. What is the conkers?

What has Hemel got to do with this?

And Fisher's Green, what is that?

Can soemone please state clearly what is happening where and why the pictures of a tip?

Help me out, please. I'm old and confused.

Woody,

Haven't been on here for a while, but Cakeys links should help.

The rubbish dump is the old Lido (swimming pool) that is being knocked down.

The white water being build for the canoes 2012 games is well under way in Waltham Cross, just down the road from Cakey and myself.

The pictures Cakey has posted are at Broxbounre Hertfordshire along the river Lea/Lee. At one time there was going to be a lot of building work around this area for the 2012 games, but due to the land of the sites being contaminated, the sites have been moved else where.

Cakey · Dec 17, 2009

and thats why Ray and myself glow in the dark !

Steve Spiller · Dec 17, 2009

Blimey Cakey, that sounds like a monumental change to the river system!

I hope it aint the end mate.....

I thought Ray glowed in the dark cos he is a gin......

Nah

Cakey · Dec 17, 2009

wait till they start nicking millions of gallons a day for the white water course for the olympics from somewhere

Jeff Woodhouse · Dec 17, 2009

Understand a tiny bit better now, thanks.

What significance did the Lido have before? Didn't they film a Bill there once?

Just seen that Fishers Green is on a Cemex Silver ticket and they do a over 60 concessionary. Is it worth going still?

Cakey · Dec 17, 2009

Ive not heard of any filming at the lido
they heated the lido and warm water exited into a part of the Lee/Lea known for big chub

Ray Daywalker Clarke · Dec 17, 2009

Woody,
Word is that cemex are not going to have fishers green on their books next season, which isa bit of a pig. It's not just the river but the lakes also, had some great days fishing on these waters.

With any luck it wll go to another club that will take on new members, it is a vast area to police.

The white water for 2012 is going to be interesting, I have heard all kinds of stories about were the water is going to come from, one story is that the water will be pumped round and roumd so nothing goes to waste, interesting.

Is that pic with the yellow canoe really a river? Looks like the bloody canal in Ashton-u- Lyne to me.

Cakey · Dec 18, 2009

no mate thats a side bit ,the river comes from the left and goes under the bridge in the distance
