Venues I wouldn't go back to
I tend not to go back to any venue that is overcrowded, unless I know it's not always that way, or where the anglers fishing are unfriendly. I don't understand some anglers attitudes to fellow fishermen. I've been told to "f**k off" just for asking if the guy had caught anything! Perhaps I sounded like a so-called 'noddy' - who are, apparently, lower than a snakes belly. Sad.

Re: Are there any Venues you wouldnt go back to?
There are quite a few
I don't know if I'm getting more fussy as I get older but there are a few reasons I'll avoid waters nowadays.
As Jim has already mentioned overcrowded waters and places frequented by , shall we say, undesirable or obnoxious characters (these I've found are usually folk with a low IQ ).
I'll also avoid waters that are so called "instant" waters. Plastic carping for plastic carpers in my opinion!
Unfortunately some of these commercial ventures were once lovely old pools containing old stock of carp and tench which were considered too small for paying punters to fish for and have been unceremoniously replaced by either 20 to 30lb Simmos or even worse 30 to 40lb foreigners
An old tench pool I fished in the eighties went this way

Places I wouldn't go back to
The incident where I was told to F**k off happened on a club water. It was a Chelmsford AA water at Braxted. They have three reservoirs close to each other, all hold some nice carp, but one in particular has a forty+ in it. It gets so certain anglers feel it is their right only, to fish for this carp. I heard a story that one young lad had his tyres slashed, because he had the audacity to actually catch the forty, on his first session! I don't know if it's true or not, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Probably wouldnt go back to Newlands Hall. To many rats and the music is pumping out in the summer for weddings etc!
The only time i go to Newlands is if i take a beginner with me. It's usually packed to the rafters at a weekend anyway, plus most of the fish have some sort of deformity about them as there not that well looked after by the catchers, sad really.

Re: Are there any Venues you wouldnt go back to?
I wouldnt go back to Willow farm (formely Bowmans in London Colney) this is due to the constant thefts that occur during night sessions and people actually being assaulted when challenging theives during the night... not only this but the bailief the last time i was there who lived on site in a caravan use to fly round the banks on a quadbike and just before dark one of my rods was laying in the long grass just behind my bivvy as i was rebating and he rode straight ovwer it and snapped the top section, when i asked if he was going to pay for it he said "you fish at your own risk and if i wanted any money i should take him to court" ever since then i have never been back and tell as many people as i can to stay away. now i know many people dont realise something until it happens to them but honestly the place is a hole, yes its good sport in the summer but when you actually look around the place its vile.
