Wow, it's been a while since I was last on Ciao, 2002 was the last time in fact, and it's now early 2008. Seems like there have been some changes since then. I'd best start writing again.

Here is an excellent venue for the serious angler keen on a bit of sport hunting Pike and Zander. Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire provide some of the best waters for Pike in particular. The drainage system on the Fenns provide excellent waters for the angler. These drainage channels or Drains as they are known run literally for miles. This particular venue is known as the 40 foot Drain and intersects the 18 foot drain. Fishing here is wonderful.
Live bait works best although artificial lures, spinners or dead bait also work well. My best haul to date is 10 fish between 6 and 15 pounds in a 6 hour stint during November 1996. No zander though they were all pike.
The drains are very open to the elements and it gets very bleak and cold up there so you need to wrap up warm and make sure you take a flask or your tea making things with you.
Day tickets are available from the bailiff who patrols the area and are about £6 for two rods.
I will be putting directions up for this venue just as soon as I find my road atlas so be sure to visit again soon or e-mail me at jon@ditt.co.uk
