Where do I start?. The lakes Paul is on about belong to Newland AC based in Witney (for Newlands read State Tackle 'cos it's basically the same lot!)They have 4 pits in total, 1 is a Carp 'bagging' water another which contains lots of Carp to high doubles with one or two twenties and the 'Specimen' lake, I must admit I've not much knowledge of it but has had some very big Carp, Tench & Pike over the years & several fish - kills. The Fourth pit 'States Lagoon' has only been stocked with Roach, Bream & Tench to (their words)'provide a venue for pleasure anglers'.Newlands are a strange club as they seem intent on ruining the smaller pits with excessive swim clearance, earthworks etc but the fishing can be good, I think the club book is about ?60 with night fishing on the 'Specimen lake' only, I haven't rejoined this year. Most of the other pits belong to Linear fisheries although there is one large pit belonging to the caravan site and a smaller but well established pit belonging to Vauxhall AC (been heavily fished this summer. Whelford is between Lechlade & Fairford, there are 2 small pits run as a very heavily stocked Carp fishery, why anyone would want to fish it is beyond me as it's always packed! The Thames down the road is virtually deserted!.Simon I'll mail you some details of more club waters off-line. Paul/Carp if you would like more info on the Newlands 'specimen lake' I'll see if I can get some.
