HAMPTON SPRINGS, HAMPTON MALPAS, CHESHIRE

Most of the waters produce silver fish but the most consistent is Rock Pool. Double maggot on a fine wire hook should bring instant bites from ide and roach. This lake also holds some huge perch to 4lb. Contact: 01948 820789 Postcode: SY14 8AD

LINDHOLME LAKES, DONCASTER, SOUTH YORKSHIRE

Bonsai has skimmers, ide, roach and chub. Maggots fished close in with a strung-out rig are all you need on any of the pegs to enjoy a good day’s sport. Contact: 01427 872905 Postcode: DN9 1LF

NONE-GO-BYE FARM, LEEDS, WEST YORKSHIRE

The pegs with plenty of open water tend to be home to the most 1lb-plus roach on the Main Lake and it is then a case of making sure they stay there by feeding casters all day. Contact: 01132 842206 Postcode: LS18 5HZ

WHOLESEA GRANGE FISHERY, HOLMEON-SPALDING-MOOR, N YORKSHIRE

The jewel in the crown has to be the 35-peg Middle Lake, the newest pool at the venue. Here ide and F1s are in abundance, with simple potted-in maggot tactics on the pole accounting for bags to over 30lb with individual fish to 4lb-plus. Contact: 01430 860231 Postcode: YO43 4BE
