Yesterday I lost my glasses in the lake when going in to save a fish... What have you lost in a lake or river?

I lost my wedding ring on the banks of the Teme at Cotheridge a few years ago.
I keep losing forceps when barbel fishing! I tend to unhook the barbel in the net, return the barbel and forget about the forceps!
A mate of mine found a rod holdall complete with five rods in a car park - it seems the owner drove off before finishing loading up! Fortunately the rods were reunited with the original owner after a couple of days!

Floats and feeders in over hanging trees or bushes.
Nail Clippers that i use as Line Snips. (before someone says -: you cut your nails when your fishing)
Lost the top two section of my pole when i was pulling for a break when caught in lillies, it shot str8 out of my hand, swam out and got it back, bloody freezing it was too.
A tub of shots that slid off my knee when i was shotting my waggler and hit the lake with a resounding PLOP. (fortunately i had some spare ones)

Apart from the usual tackle items, particularly bank sticks;
My prescription polaroid sunglasses about 12 years ago at Gold Valley - they fell into the lake and after a few minutes 'fishing' with the landing net all I came up with was masses of broken glass - so I decided not to go in after them.
My mobile phone at a 'secret' lake in Wiltshire - damn nuisance as I had to re-create all of my contact numbers.
My car keys about 6 years ago on the Royalty fishery.
(Thank goodness for the good old AA!)

A very expensive Swiss wrist watch I got for my 21st birthday, it had an expanding strap. Like a clown, I threw out a handfull of maggots with the hand wearing the watch. And looked in horror as the watch splashed down into twenty odd feet of water.
A Pentax camera, in Ladybower Reservoir.
A Farstrike carp rod, complete with Alcedo reel in the Relief Channel, due to frozen hands.
Oh enough of this, I feel stupid enough.

I don't feel so stupid at losing my glasses after reading what everyone else has lost. =S

I hooked and landed the other sock from the Dane on Wednesday evening. You shouldn't have furtively driven 200 miles North....I'd have got rid of it for you.....if the price was right! Too late now!!!

Iv'e lost loads of fish.
I lost my umbrella in the Thames,it blew away,and ended upside down on the far bank in some reeds.Two blokes in a canoe came to the rescue and retrieved it for me.The problem was they couldnt collapse it and they were being towed around,and almost capsised,They got it back to me eventually,but I 'm sure they wished they had'nt bothered...PMSL

A mobile phone at Clattercote, going to the assistance of a lady.
A few un-hooking mats.
A green Fishing Magic cap at Adams Mill
Found 1 brolly left by somebody who shouldn't have been on a fishery, now keeping a junior angler dry!

My down fall seems to be rod rests and banksticks
The number of time I've packed up, driven home, unloaded the car, put the gear away and then got back in the car and driven back with a torch to find my bankstick.
I've also dropped a full tub of No8 shot and ended up with about 20 left in the tub.
I've found a few bits whilst fishing , floats, weights, packet of hooks, but nothing expensive

Lost my brolly once due a gust of wind, it sailed ovr my head and out of reach then sank slowly but surely out of sight.
I managed to drag it it up and out again with 30lb braid and a size 2 Drennan!

Pole top 2 to a carp, 3 rd section turned out faulty.
Retrieved pole sections 4 to 7 (put together) after they slid into a lake due to steep banking. Had to wade out starkers (good job it was summer) up to my chin in water, managed to clasp the last section with my toes and lift it up just enough to grab it with my hand. Had to dry off using my ground bait towel.
Lost a fly wallet when on holiday. Dropped out of my bag when packing up whilst wlaking back to the car.
