Littleton is a 'free for all' at the moment, seen plenty of people fishing them following TH's video about them. I gather the fish are being fished for to move them

something to do with the land owners not wanting fishing to take place, thus the lakes were lost to fishing Christmas time. That said i see people fishing it most weeks and even saw people in dingys on it during so called lock down.

Never really looked into it tbf but drive past it most days and theres always loads of cars parked on side of road so must be rammed. Used to walk over road to have a look on the large one opposite and at one stage there was a guy under a tarpaulin fishing it always new there were a few lumps in there as had seen them. Would be a great lake to make a project and get up and running as a fishery dont know if it ever was maybe someone would know

Big ‘un in there is long, long gone, unless there's a fish progressed through the ranks since..? Double Scale was the next biggest (catchable) after Split Tail, went around 32-33ish and was on holidays from the little lake next door....
