I fished Welham last July Eric.

It's mainly carp these days but it's still a hell of a venue

Thanks for the info Simon,it looks like introducing carp hasn't done the fishery much good.It used to be a tench only venue and the fishing was out of this world. I fished it 8/9 years ago on invite before the season started when Angling Times did a feature on it (free booze and a barbie) and had my first 100lb+ catch in England and got my picture in A.T.(fame at last).

Carp lakes have appeared all over North Yorkshire in the last few years and it is nice to visit them occasionaly but Welham and it's Tench was real fishing, I must be getting old!

Thanks again Simon I will let you know how we got on.
