FishingGuy Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hey Raiders, With school holidays here, I was wondering if anyone knows any good freshwater spots in the Seven Hills or Blacktown area. I am based in Kings Langley and only have a pushbike as transport so anything within an hours ride? Don't really want to use public transport if possible as it is very busy at this time and I don't want to carry my fishing gear on it. I NOT looking for a spot where the fish can be eaten, I am aware that the waterways here a polluted. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers, FishingGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hey FG, Lived in that area many yon ago! There's not really anywhere to fish around. You have the parra river to the east and the nepean to the west which is too far to ride from where you are. As a young kid though, I used to catch carp in toongabie creek, but don't tell anyone! Chewers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevefish Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I've seen a few carp come out of woodcroft, but that was a few years ago. The lake at norwest is FULL of carp, it may not be legal though, check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i've been up to Norwest before and am aware of the carp (and the 1m+ eels) but the council recently made fishing prohibited because of people not disposing the carp properly. Maybe late at night might be an option. Cheers, FishingGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken87 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I fish at glenwood lake with my dad and we've caught some massive carp 60 cm plus also used to fish at woodcroft when we lived there 10 years ago me and my mate used to take a blow up boat to get to the center of the lake and get meter long carp and 4 foot eels on dough and corn got dragged around a few times too. Still good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooked-Up Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hi mate, the 12lb line "should" be fine. leave the wite traces at home next time, you definately dont need that or the 60lb line. what sort of knots are you using mate? Sounds like that might be your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARC H Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Yeah like Hooked-Up up said it may be your Knots definately dont need wire or 60lb when chasing carp i use 6lb or lighter get a better fight that way you just need to take the bigger ones slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pritpal596 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Hey guys i fish at Glenwood lake (Near Parklea Public School) but it looks like i might give this place a miss now. Nothing is biting there at all and even regular fishers like the old Asian man have stopped coming here often (He knew how to catch carp). Does anyone know if the council etc. has done anything to the water to maybe kill off the carp. Also Chicken87 it would be a damn good idea to maybe introduce some bass or even more carp haha.
