Heron Lake at Wyboston near St Neots.
Lovely lake, i was a member a few years ago, well run syndicate with sensible rules.
Some good fish in it then, could be some real NICE ONES NOW.

Probably, but you can always get a round of golf there, not a bad course as long as you avoid the water!

It's actually the other way round now, need to fish pit 1 first to get on list for pit 2 and it's around the £500 mark.

How things change, whats happened there then? Has pit 2 now got a better stock than 1? Was a member myself in the 90s, pit 1 was a top lake back then.

Fishing on pit 1 is still very healthy, the back pit has a lot more fish than it use to and the stockies are doing very well. Don't really know why it swapped round, demand I suppose.

Time flys, things change, hard for me to grasp it was 30 years ago when i had my time on there, all the old fish gone now i would expect, glad the pits are still good fisherys though.

God , would never imagined that situation 😲. When the lake went free fishing and some of the fish seeded waters as far as Oxfordshire I proposed a syndicate on it . I quoted it it the same as Len Guard who lived near me , with places I could easily filled , and a bit extra for a gatted carpark at least the one nearest the entrance . There were a lot of thefts going on , but the carpark round the back was less vulnerable . Len won the day obviously , and offered me a place , even bailiffing duties 😀. I questioned why I'd lost out as I knew I'd offered enough money , the answer ??? Len had wrote in on official looking headed paper , fair play 😂

Not exactly sure where this is tbh, there's a very weedy small intimate lake with islands on the left southbound on the a1, what lake please, quite a bit before wyboston, i think theres a sharp bend or two then as the road straightens its on the left. Sorry for the vagueness

That's a pretty cool story Carpbourne, Len (God rest his soul) knew the score and did a great job. This all happened well before my time. I was recently told a story how the travellers camped nearby ‘borrowed' some poor buggers tackle and one of the Elstow bailiffs that was a little un-hinged took a double barrelled over to their caravan park and on demanding to speak to their honcho got the gear returned.

Pretty sure theyre Ampthill AC ticket. Occasionaly hear rumours about them throwing something significant up,but as its open access im guessing theres a lot of bluster and those that do the time and get results stay tight lipped.. definately venues for those who want a challenge

Yeah Stewartby. Dont think that ones on the ampthil ticket the bogborough one is. Marston is too.

The big lake Dave Fishes I think is parallel to the road that goes to kempston retail park from ampthill. If that is the lake he fishes, which from the looks of it, it is then it takes over a minute to drive past at 60mph! Looks awsome and I believe once held a 50lber that got ottered and I got told if Inwanted to waste ten years of my life there was an absolutely MINT scaley at about 37 38lbs.... this info was given to me by a reliable source several years ago. I'm assuming it is this lake descriptions locations and pictures/videos look it ;-)
Are you sure?
