A number of large pike were found spawnbound in the spring, but according to Bristol Water there have been more than 20 fish over 30lb this autumn with the largest weighing 37.01 so there are still some very bifg fish in there..

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Let's keep our powder dry and make a decision a few days before. Like I said, if I have some company then I'm more than happy to fish Burton Springs. However if I will be on my own then I'll go after the crocs instead, weather permitting.

I must admit that the weather was an afterthought when I wrote that but needless to say Burton Springs has ... well... gone for a Burton this year.  The owners are using the aerators and boats to try to keep the water fisheable but I fear they may be fighting a losing battle.... http://www.burtonspringsfishery.com/latestnews.htm
If the weather looks up next week then I might be interested in a post Christmas Conclave at Burton Springs. Anyone else?

Merry Xmas everyone.
It's a shame these arctic conditions have spoied the Burton day.
Looking forward to seeing many of you on the bank next season.

I can now see what Bristol Water meant when they put out the warnings about people walking on the ice! 
Have a great Christmas everyone and let's hope the ice is a distant memory when the reservoirs open again in March
