Reading the posts on this subject it seems like most would prefer venues with no carp in them or river stretches which IMO would be good for the association.
I would only add one other point which would be that any venue have decent parking areas that aren't to far to walk from

A couple of pools with no carp would be nice - stocked with bream tench and roach for some proper fishing
Not a carp bashing place
Another pool like Coppice would ease the pressure that Coppice gets though
Agree with the Trent around Burton

BAA membership IS great value for money. But when you enjoy fishing natural waters over puddles it is annoying that just as the rivers are returning to SAFE fishable levels after the winter floods the close season strikes and they get shut off to us.
Dont get me wrong, I have been fishing when its been pouring with rain and when the snow has been 2ft deep and the the rings on my rod have frozen and caught lovely chub and roach and enjoy that but trying to fish a bit of slack water whilst the main river is a raging torrent and the banks are a slippery muddy mess is not appealing to me personally but if people want to do it then who am I to say they cant.
I just feel it is about time this outdated closed season was abolished as it serves little purpose to angling in this day and age

Totally agree. The last few years have been a wash out on the rivers during the winter. We all buy our licences hoping for 9 months of river action, whether or not you have a good days fishing, yet end up with only 6 or 7. Then just as the rivers have settled back down and are in prime condition the "closed season" hits us.
The closed season was supposed to allow for fish to spawn and recover, yet research has shown that some species of fish are still spawning into July.
Removing the closed season on lakes, pools and canals has not made any difference to fish welfare as spawning fish don't seem to want to eat anyway.
The only reason I can see for keeping it is to protect the wild life on the rivers. Keeping anglers off the rivers so that wildlife can have some peace and quiet to nest and hatch. If anglers were to approach a peg that they could see had nesting wild life in they would leave it be and find another peg (I would anyway).
The best way to discover what the effect of removing the closed season would have would be to remove it for a couple of years so that evidence could be gathered from all over the country, not just certain areas. Obviously SSSI's would be exempt from this experiment due to their status
