Have a look at Wyton Lakes just outside Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. There are three good-sized lakes and some pitches are situated so you can fish directly from them. It's a lovely site, I don't fish but I like it as it's quiet
We went there once when our preferred site at Houghton Mill was fully booked. Never again!
There were more rules than in a Working Men's Club; "You can't fish there. That's Fred's favourite swim and he might arrive this weekend." And I felt that the owner's eyes were burning the back of my neck everywhere I went.
In the end we gave up and went down to the river nearby. Came back just before the fishing finished and had three carp between us on free lined bread fished in the margins before Frau Campenfhurer ordered us off.
Next day another angler told us that nothing else had been caught all day. The regulars were not amused.
Its a fantastic area and we visited every year for six or seven years, but at Houghton Mill, not there.
------------- If I had known how busy retirement would be, I'd have carried on working.
