went to the hole in the ground, "the monument", last week, not to fish though, just to have a look, not impressed, the list of rules is stupid, you can't use your own landing net, unhooking mat, scales, wiegh sling, add to this that when you hook into one, they have cameras watching the lake, as soon as the office see you put a bend in the rod, out comes some spotty little twat with a camera round his neck carrying a landing net and nets the fish for you.
the lake itself doesn't impress neither, ok, there's features underwater, but nobody seems to have given a rats ass about the surrounding bank, for all intense and purpose it's a square hole in the ground, better take some 1oz leads as well because it's tiny, when seen on tv it looks a lot bigger.............give me a picturesqe estate lake any day
