Hi lads
Anyone know of any lakes with availability or winter tickets? Sick of getting trips abroad cancelled and have decided to do some fishing on home ground.
I live in Derby area and will travel up to 2 hrs for the right water
Thanks
Darron

Sutton's a really small lake filled with fast growers. A few nice fish but not to everyone's taste. The bowl and the mere have some nice old fish still in there. Prince Albert ticket is worth putting your name down for to get onto some of the meres.

Stay away from deep water fisheries in winter.

I don't necessarily agree with this - the deeper waters will often fish better early winter as they take longer to cool down, whereas shallower waters will cool down quickly -
Transversely a shallower water will warm up quicker so will respond better to short mild spells.
In consistently cold weather a deeper water will often fish well. Bundy's pit is over 60ft deep in places and has excellent winter form on the zigs.

I dont fish zigs, so a different set of criteria. When we say winter, I mean after Christmas.
Head down the A38 and get a winter ticket for Butterley. £90.

Why is esne's quarry so bad? It looks a nice place and the fish look OK I know there not massive but every one seems to slag the place off?

I live around the corner from esnes and fished it before it got took on as a syndicate, lovely bit of fishing tbf as it was wild untouched overgrown and we caught plenty to just shy of 30lbs (originals) mainly stalking most out the edges on corn as it was practically a virgin water , we left when the syndicate was formed as it got stocked with loads of little ones and I'm pretty sure most of the originals perished not long after, there still maybe the odd one kicking about but I've rarely seen any pics of originals since and that was a good few years back now
It had a 40 and a 30 Plonked in not long after so I believe (ed Mathews fish ) If they float your boat , lovely lake and settings but I feel like it's been a tad ruined with so many small fish , imo honest opinion there's better lakes around I.e the bowl syndicate which is 10 mins away and very good value for money with what's in there , loved my time on esnes in those early days though 👍
