I found some of my old fishing pictures last night, that were stuck to sheets of paper in an old cardboard file. Taken at lakes I fished in the past, with a camera that used film. Stuck them on my basic Adobe, and cleaned them up a bit today.
I can't speak for nowadays, because lakes change with new stockings etc. But Boreham Mere was one of the more difficult lakes I fished back in the day.
I posted this on my FB and a number of people gave their memories of this place from years ago.
There used to be a small fair and old penny slot machines in what is now the parking area and you could rent rowing boats or if you were really posh you could hire a gondala and be punted up the lake. It's an area of the lake I've never seen as it's long and thin and bends to the right just at the middle of the image. Might pop out with the drone one night but think it's in a no fly zone. Anyway, it's owned by a fishery now and you see the odd bivvy and rods dotted about.
Times change and it's still a beautiful spot. The road on the left winds and twists as it drops down in to a hollow and I've noted it down as one I'd like to shoot at sunset a little later in the year when the sun sets more to the North. Possibly with some traffic trails if I decide to go wide enough.
A pleasant afternoon talking to a young family having a weekend picnic. They still had their heads in their mobile phones most of the time but they'd come up from Reading specifically to have the picnic because the Mum was from the area. Dad driving, mum getting slowly pissed on chardonnay:)

Horsey Mere is part of the Norfolk Broads and is located near to the coast close to Horsey and Winterton-on-sea in Norfolk, England.
I have deliberately taken the shot with wide bands of sky and water as it is a true reflection of the Norfolk landscape and uses the textures to provide visual interest.
