Hi all , could anyone recommend a easy (ish) water that I could take my lad to for a few days once all this mayhem has ended, Trying to keep him interested and the syndicate we fish together Is quite hard - although I'm trying to explain its quality not quantity I think he is getting board of us blanking ! We are based East Midlands and don't mind travelling up to say 3 hours, ( been to most local day tickets) would like to try some where new, just a couple of things- size is unimportant as long as we are catching, double peg a must, safe and secure and nice surroundings, any ideas/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

You could get to the linear complex in three hours, perhaps B1?
Would you make it to Thorpe Lea in three hours, or farlows?
If you just want a big water with loads of room and a **** ton of fish in it then what about Willows/Albans Lake in St Albans.? It's soppy easy, even in January in freezing conditions we've had half a dozen fish days only. I've never fished it in spring/summer but I'm guessing you wouldn't be getting much sleep.

Many thanks for all the ideas it's greatly appreciated, I can do kings Lynn in around 2 hours so if it's not to far from there could be worth a look ?
Gerards looks nice so that's definitely on the list.

Stanwick lakes mate. Swan is the ‘runs' water. It wi be busy I imagine once the restrictions are lifter but definitely good for a few bites.
Also Naseby reservoir but you need to book on to fish nights. Definitely a runs water.

There was loads of stuff on social media a few years ago. Pictures of some old fish from Peterborough waters supposedly turning up in there.

No mate but I remember all the fuss, they had EA and every man and his dog round but no issues .
They breed their own fish too , there are a few lakes on the complex, to be honest it is a very friendly place , two specimen lakes too that you have to book on, online. Toilets and a tackle shop onsite , great for kids.
