I haven't fished it but have heard a few people talking about Woodside Lakes near Pewsey lately, some nice fish but nothing massive, looks nice

I grew up just down the road in Pewsey, but have always travelled to Berks to fish

Woodside is a nice little place... certainly the best option close to you.

You've got a few day tickets in Berkshire... Theale Island, Barton Court, Frobury Farm. There's also quite a few clubs that have easier waters on them which would be far more cost effective and would likely be a bit quieter. Check out the Newbury and Thatcham clubs.

Cheers mate. I've fished Barton 3 times before for carp and blanked each time. I've looked at Thatcham and Newbury angling clubs. Do you have any experience of fishing at there venues?

I am also considering south cerney angling club in the cotswold

I have heard it's good there. Do you have to get a ticket from the fishing shop in calne or can you just pay at the lake? Is there over night fishing too?

Do you have to pay a £25 entry fee to fish there. What about flaxlands?
Are you sure?
