Where to cast your line!
Today I visited a great fishing venue. The New Forest Water Park near Ringwood has a large well stocked lake with Carp, Tench and giant Wells Catfish. The photos I saw showed they really were an anglers dream catch. It's up to you whether you join as a member, although there is a long waiting list at the moment. By the size of some of the catches on the walls, if you're a keen angler I'd think you'd get your moneys worth.
You can fish from this great venue as a non member, from your own little island in the middle of the lake! How fantastic would that be? You and 2 friends, hire the island for 2 nights and 3 days, or longer. You are taken over to the island where the log cabin, equipped with sofa beds and a portaloo is ready for you. A caravan and shed are for you to make use of too. You can take your own BBQ and when you want to return to the "mainland" you just give a call and a boat comes out to get you. There are purpose build fishing hides on the island, which I'm sure means something to the keen angler? The biggest Carp caught here weighed 42lb! Contact the New Forest Water Park and get ready to catch a whopper!
You can also use Forestry Commission sites close to Ocknell or Roundhill Campsites - there's lots of other really great suggestions and Events info on this page too!
