PORTLAND WATERS, SIBTHORPE, NOTTS

Tucked away in the quiet Notts countryside, this impressive complex offers great facilities and a range of lakes – from narrow snake waters to big, open water pools. The Old Wood Lake holds big carp and is popular with those anglers who are seeking a specimen or two. Pole anglers can get stuck into the Canal and Four Islands Lakes, where pellet remains the top bait for the carp and barbel. Contact: 07967 144818 Postcode: NG23 5PN
