Good afternoon all,hope you are all keeping safe and well in this glorious sunshine 😊 ive got the fishing bug back after watching countless hours of Chris Yates and Wilson, only snag Is I've only ever specialised in fishing on rivers for Barbel ect

Have never been one for fishing a hole dug in the ground surrounded by 50 other fisherman/fisherwomen(latter would not be so bad) looking for some where with a bit of character and some decent fish to learn pool & lake fishing

Which leads me to my question

Where on earth are there any decent pools lakes near longbridge Birmingham area? Willing to travel beyond those areas of course.

Sorry If it's long winded folks but any help guidance would be glad appreciated
Stay safe all

Kind regards marvoulous barbless
