.. Reading KeithM's report about catching a guppy at the Ovaltine factory hot water outlet on another thread it reminded me of the winter days on that stretch of the GUC. Those pegs on the towpath opposite the outlet were hard to get on unless you were up early. It was black with all species and fantastic fishing. The other local hot water outlet I remember was on the river Gade below the ****inson paper mills on Croxley moor..remember Croxley script writing paper? The roach and dace fishing was phenomenal using tiny pinches of flake trotted downstream. We were convinced that the fish were eating the flecks of paper pumped out in the warm emission of water so we tried to copy it with bread
anyone else have fond memories of outlets in your area, maybe some still exist?
