I remember catching a prime Colne roach one day in winter on a nice salty freshly picked bogey.....

When i was a young lad(many years ago) i was floatfishing on the local river Cherwell,there were a lot of fish swirling downstream...being relatively inexperienced i was,nt getting a bite,when something told me to catch a cranefly(daddy long legs),that were flying about everywhere, and put it on the hook,i moved all the shot up under the float and let it run down,a massive swirl and a spirited fight and a 3lb chub followed !!Chef
ive been eyeing a few of them up recently. got to be worth a punt :w

As posted on another thread some time ago, not myself but a friend, in a 'who could catch on the weirdest bait' competition - a chub on a filter tip.
PS I came second with a bit of banana skin........
PPS Used to catch dace on daddies.

There is a certain chap well known in angling circles who ties flies containing the pubic hair of afro-Caribbean ladies. I will say no more.
