Its no good. It's been too long since I used my tackle (oo er missus). Until I can do some proper fishing 
on the river after our whiskered friend I am hankering for some tench fishing.
I've done the Gold Valley/Willow Park thing and had my fill of that. What I am after is some Crabtree-esque action. A lilly fringed water where I can fish
for tench with a waggler a rod length out (whistful sigh). Perhaps I'll take up smoking a pipe, perhaps take a few mint imperials with me as well.
Can anyone advise on such a venue in the Berkshire/surrounding area? Needs to be a day ticket water.
Thanks much...

The proper Crabtree waters all open on June 16th
Got plenty I can tell you about that open then in Wilts/Berks 
You could do a lot worse than head up to Blenheim. Jon |

He would do a lot better going somewhere else as according to there website when I looked they close for the traditional close season. Would of thought some of the berks locals would know plenty of lakes out that way. Not been down that way for a while but the only ones I have fished out that way were the Cemex Yateley Complex which gave you a couple of small well stocked waters (pumphouse and hoseshoe) and a slightly larger (split lake) lower stocked waters the tench and bream both go to double figures if your lucky but the tench average a good 4lb to 6lb and the bream a bit bigger and they can both be caught in the margins but these lakes are only fishable on there spring permit this time of year. You could try the sandhurst lake on the same complex which is fishable on a day ticket used to be a cracking tench fishery until they put a load of carp in it and made it day ticket but you never known whats might still be in there tench wise and I doubt they are ever targeted not sure on day ticket prices but you get them from Yateley angling centre. Swan valley next door to it used to hold some good tench and rudd many years ago but don't know whats in it or who has it now. Stickfisher |
