Hi mate. Forget about fresh water fishing. Lets do more sea fishing.

If I go to seaside every weekend I will get bankrupted. Lets share the petrol cost and do some sea fishing.

hi id love to go sea fishing every weekend but i reckon it would cost me more than petrol ,alot more,and i like them just about where they are now if you know what i mean!!

I used to fish the river Kennet in Reading if thats not too far from you and there was a good free Barbel section we called the 'Jam Factory stretch' with a chinese fish n chip shop with its garden overlooking the river.

We also used to fish the Kennet at Newbury, Thatcham and Burfield.

If I lived in your area I would join the Reading & District Angling Association (or whatever they are called) they have some great waters in the area.

Can't help with your question about the free water boundries for the river lambourn though sorry.

hi thanks for reply ,i love the kennet and as an apprentice in the kings rd would spend loads of time fishing the back of huntley and palmers factory ,when i should have been in college ,and the rda has waters right into newbury so as a thatchamite i should join but still like the idea of finding a little stetch of unloved water and making it my own,ps the lambourn 3ft deep at its deepest and crystal clear ,full of rainbows and gudgeon
