Any one know of a good free carp fishing venue in roth/sheff areas?????

yu will be lucky nost venues are day tickets now only rivers and canals yu might find some free strechs

I went on the canal, plumpers stretch i set up for only small fish, and had a large carp about 9lbs.

Didnt land it lol also saw others catching carp.

Tight lines..

On the other hand you could try Koikeepers pond

Hi, Crookes Valley Park is free and is supposed to hold some big Carp. Kev

Call me a snob but why do you want to go to somewhere thats free? its pretty cheap going to day ticket places like £3-5 :S

The Sheffield Canal does hold some very very nice carp. Theres a few free stretches, just have a walk down the bank and see if anyones fishing, or have a look if there's any club signs on the bank.

there are some nice carp in the marina

Graves park ? Beauchief ponds ? But you are not going to catch anything worthy of Carp fanciers monthly unless you shell out.. get yer hand in yer pocket and have a day at KSR @ Killamarsh or try the Industrial hamlet lake which has some massive carp innit, there are also some huge (and I mean HUGE) grass carp in rother valley ;)

Can you fish in the marina? I know you normally can't, which is probably why the bigger carp hang out there!

is eccy pond any good for carp?i dont mind paying day ticket.

Plumpers stretch is permit holders but there only about £13 per season.

It is KJS that is at killamarsh not KSR, I believe they own aston ponds too.

Tardis tackle at firth park sell permits for plumpers stretch I believe.

I was wondering where to get one from now as Handsworth tackle shop is closed down now:(
Its worth the money and it is a large stretch,From the basins all the way to holmes lock at Rotherham,It was a couple of years ago so don't know if it still is.

Not been up here long and im looking to find some big fish waters, How big do the Carp and Grassy's go in Rother and Killamarsh, Dont want to sound snobby but im used to fishing at Yately which holds fish well into their forty's. Also is there any Cats in there. Cheers Phil.
