For the best all round fishing prospects, where would you want to live?
For me there are 3 choices:
1: Hampshire - Ringwood
On close proximity to the Avon and Stour plus all those lovely gravel pits with big bream and tench. For just over ?100 a year I would join Christchurch Angling Club. And there is aso good sea fishing and those mullet.
The only downside is that game fishing is very expensive and exclusive.
2: Oxfordshire - Witney
Tremendous gravel pit fishing. The Upper Thames in close proximity as well as the Cherwell and Upper Ouse.
Game fishing is not bad, again rather expensive if you want to get on a river.
3: Where I live now - Rotherham.
The river's Don and Rother on my doorstep, they get better all the time, plus The Idle for big roach and not more than 32 miles away, the Trent, which has some of the best barbel fishing in the country. You are on the A1 M for the Yorkshire Rivers, Close to top class river fly fishing in Derbyshire and many truly excellent still water.
And there are those undiscovered gravel pits of the Trent valley.
Where would you live?
