HI,
As anyone ever seen a very big specimen (any fish) in a water that they are not allowed to fish?
Near me is a series of 3 small Dams (linacre, Chesterfield) that, up untill a few years ago used to be run by a trout club (I used to fish it!) untill severn trent gave it up and handed it to the Derbyshire county council ranger service.
Anyway, the other day I was having a stroll round near the top dam (this dam has very big brown trout in it as they can get to the brook at the top end to breed!) and I noticed a VERY large perch swimming along the dam wall. This fish must have been about 4lb! There are thousands of perch in these lakes but I have never seen one like this, and I just wish I had my rod with me at the time, but alas, the stupid wildlife police have stopped all fishing, typical!
