Fair point, depending which way they swim.

Aged 12, I was given the tip to fish under bridges when it rained as the fish go there to keep dry

Not a myth but once upon a time I used to live by a canal and used to walk my dog every day. One particular day i was talking to an angler for around 15 minutes and then upon saying bye I noticed my dog ‘had on the lead' had eaten almost a pint of maggots and had only left a few. I apologised and after leaving went to purchase the angler some more so he could carry on fishing.
The next day I went down the canal and all was fine until I got around the corner and could see an angler around 50 yards away but unfortunately my dog saw him first. I shouted ‘WATCH YOUR MAGGOTS MATE'. In his rush to pick up his maggots his luggage bag remained open and a few seconds later my dog had fcuked off with his sandwiches.....I couldn't apologise enough.

Hi Alex
"what's the stupidest myth you've ever had the pleasure of being told"
A polish grandma once told me that carp cry for mercy when they get caught, if they cry enough they will be returned to the water, if not they go in the pot.
The biggest ones cry the most
Best

My mother's dog had a habit of pissing on brollys and tents, pole sections, you name it
Got a bit embarrassing apologising all the time, stopped taking it in the end

That dropping the lead is essential for both fish safety and landing fish if weed is present...

a 60 mile round trip to Barnard Castle is a great way to see if you can drive 260 miles back to London....

That Tournament 5000t and ss3000 are better than modern reels
I have been carp fishing for 30 years and had ss3000s for ages. Convinced myself they were great reels until I used a modern set
Sold them to someone prepared to pay silly money on eBay and never looked back
Most of the young “trendies” weren't even born when they were released

I'm now in my 29th year of carping and my old gear was crap, apart from my mk1 delkims and my 8010gts that I still use.
