VIADUCT FISHERY, SOMERTON, SOMERSET
Cary Lake is home to big skimmers and some huge perch. Use maggots for plenty of bites, but pellets and casters are better for the bigger fish.

DRENNAN LINDHOLME LAKES, SANDTOFT, NORTH LINCS
All the lakes hold good numbers of silvers, but Beeches Lake is best. Ide dominate, and a pole or waggler with maggots is the best bet. There are also lots of skimmers and roach.

PACKINGTON SOMERS, MERIDEN, WARWICKSHIRE
More like an estate lake than a commercial, Geary’s Level Pool is a wide expanse of water that’s full of big skimmers and the odd proper bream. Long pole and expander pellets rule.
