If your going to Billing there are some very good carp in the lakes so could be worth taking some tackle

go fishing every week, except the carp have switched off with this cold weather, so on to roach and pike fishing until the temps increase.

That'll be in the village of Trencreek on the edge of Newquay (I lived there for 6 months). Greg's in W-S-M so it's a bit of a trek.

 

I used to carp a lot at Bolingey, near Perranporth, and had loads of doubles. It was a real shame that there was a water-poisoning incident.

 

Greg, give me a shout when you come up to Gloucester - I'd go to Lechlade with you. I don't know how it's doing since the flooding, but there is a lake next to the Walham power station in Gloucester (the one that was on the news about the flooding) and that has/had lots of doubles - hard to catch, though, apparently.

used to carp fish a lot, but don't have time now :)

 

 

don't like pike, horrible creatures,
