Can anyone tell me what the Bream record was around the late fifties/early sixties please.
Thanks for that Steve.some interesting stats in those lists, very illuminating.
I never knew that Colwick Park once held the roach record, and for fifteen years too
I always had that one down in my head as coming from somewhere like the Wensum.
I remember it's capture Steve, on lobworm if I remember correctly so it would have been a perfect quest for you.
I thought 12 ish!.I thought it was 8lb 8ozs??

That was the tench record when I was a boy. Caught by the Rev Alston I believe who also held the Rudd record.
Yep I remember that ...on a size 2 hook as well if memory serves me well. I think the fish was also shown to be carrying over 10oz of spawn.
Was he really fishing for roach or eels maybe??.
I could have sworn the Bream record was held by a fish from Chiddingstone Castle lake at one point ...13.8 or 13.12 something like that. ...it does not appear to be on the list.

I think the water was turned into a trout by fly only venue not long afterwards , not sure if I fished it a little time afterwards with a friend but it might have been another water on the complex????
ps, the Wensum was on many a roach anglers bucket list back then, mine to but never did get round to it as I found another good roach water.
