Hi there,

I got back into fishing last year after a 25 year break.

I used to fish with my dad at Springwell Lake (N. Harrow Waltonians) when I was a teenager.

Also Casiobury Park and Ruislip Lido. (best not mention me and my brother's fishing exploits in Pinner Memorial Park Pond; the reason the No Fishing sign when up c1985, ooops) anyway...


Catching a few tiddlers in the local canal, up to today, when I landed a 21" brown trout from the river Gade in Croxley Moor (photo in the gallery forum, I think!)

Looking forward to learning lots on my visits here.

Cheers

N

Welcome Neil, I live very near Ricky. I mainly pleasure fish the canal behind tesco and the Colne down the Aqui. Chances are our paths have crossed.

Funnily enough Neil, Inns lake is the nearest lake to your house...
The one on the left as you go down towards Springwell lock on the canal...
