At the edge of my council estate there is a small stream not really big enough to fish as it is only a few feet wide and a couple of inches deep. But the stream emerges from underground where they built a shopping centre over it about 10 years ago,the place where it emerges is a concrete tunnel which is about 6ft wide and the water is about 2ft deep. Next to the large tunnel there is a small what looks like a seweragepipe and whilst peering down into the shopping trolley strewn water i noticed alot of fishing swimming in and out of the small pipe, like a moth drawn to the light I had to investigate this further. So early one sunday morning I climb down to the water armed with a float rod, some maggots, and a keepnet,i cast as well as i can up into the tunnel whilst firing maggots and catch chublet, after chublet, also a few nice size roach and a few small perch. No-one else has ever fished it as far as I know and i didn't half get some strangelooks from passers buy but it turned out to be a red hot fishing spot as anyone else ever fished any odd places that no one else would usually try?
