Fishing near Tadley, England

Tadley sits on the Surrey side of England. There are about 15,836 people here. Working outwards: Mill barely 19 miles to the south-west, Frensham Great Pond barely 20 miles, Frensham Little Pond barely 20 miles to the south-east, New Pond barely 20 miles plus Virginia Water barely 23 miles to the east. The bank at Mill is easy going, which makes it the sensible first stop. Some years give ice and some give none. Edges go first and the middle never sets hard. Few areas offer this much variety so close together. Steeper banks give depth without a boat. Parking is recorded at Mill. County records name European eel, roach, common carp, perch and northern pike among the fish present. The water nearby comes in several kinds, so the choice is wide. Weekday mornings are the easiest time on any of them. All of the above sit within reach of Tadley, which is the practical point....
