You've caught a fish?
I think mine all have to be small streams through farmland that fed slightly bigger small streams, one particular "ditch" springs to mind close to the River Devon near Newark and which was barely a couple of feet wide with summer bankside vegetation from ether side that folded in and knitted together above it in many places but it was stuffed with chub and roach.
Another which springs to mind was barely more than a shallow flowing ditch which we often drove over to get to the Bellwater Drain in Lincolnshire and on the particular December day when we stopped to fish it, fearing that the main drain would be frozen over, we had pike after pike on wobbled deads up to low double figures.
And many, many years ago during a high winter Trent flood I built a platform from discared tyres and pallets in what used to be the filthy truck park opposite and slightly upstream of Newark castle and went on to land three chub from it!
What's your most unlikely place?
