Fishing near Marlow, England

This is Marlow, an English town in Surrey. Everything worth a rod sits outside the town line. The near ones first: Eton Dorney barely 7.0 miles, Pynesfield Lake barely 12 miles to the east, Virginia Water barely 13 miles, St Ann's Lake barely 16 miles to the south-east with Abbey Lake barely 16 miles. Pynesfield Lake has the kind of soft bottom that keeps weed thick into autumn. Some winters cap these and some do not. Nothing here is dependable in winter. Few areas offer this much variety so close together. Stony ground fishes better than mud in the cold. Parking is recorded at Eton Dorney. Across Surrey, recorded fish include European eel, roach and common carp. Local tackle shops know the levels better than any website. The number within reach grows once you widen the circle. For Marlow anglers, Eton Dorney is the default rather than the choice....
