boots in particular are becoming rarer, you don't get pestered by them like you did a few years ago.
any water that hasn't been drained and turned into a puddle, and has some kind of stream, ditch... anything that water enters the lake or exits the lake has the potential to produce.
Eels are probably the last species of freshwater fish in the UK where there's still a fair amount of pioneering to be done...
give it ago if there's one thing to be said about Eels it's they fight well above their weight!

A lake I used to fish for carp a lot had a very high eel population as it was on the course of a stream not too far from the coast. We used to get plagued by eels up to about 2lb and often had the alarms beeping all night as they chewed away at the boilies. Over a few years it gradually got less and less of a pain in the bum dealing with the eels until you'd think there was hardly an eel in the place. a bit of a contrast to when you could fill a keepnet with eels when night fishing.
