Passing through a small village nearby this afternoon, I saw a couple of cars parked near a small pond, thought I'd have a walk around, and have a natter. Both the anglers, (they were'nt together), had travelled approx 20/25 mile to fish. The pond is known locally for producing an abundance of small fish. Both told me that they had come to the pond after a write-up in the angling press. Carp to 20lb plus, large bream. By coincidence, after a further journey of 20 mile, another car turns up, the anglers in this car had the article with them Firstly, you would never have recognised the pond from the photograph, secondly, I've lived around here for 22 years and have never heard of 'big fish' coming from the pond. The two anglers who were fishing, had both had bit's, the latecomers left after a walk round protesting about the state of the place, banks, pegs etc:. Have you ever fished following a review, and how did you fare, disappointed or delighted ????.
