fungus mirrors were in wraysbury 1.

dave lane wrote about them in Obsession. from memory, in 1995 they were stocked on the quiet from a lake in kent as there had been a lot of furore around new stockings after the fish kill on Horton a couple of years before. just after they went in, they appeared in the finger bays with white growths all over them that looked like fungus & some of them died. I think most of the ones that did get caught ended up being moved to the diving lake, however approx 5 remained including King Fungus that went on to approx 50lbs

you're right - I missed that out - I think he got them from the netting of local lake via a local pet shop or something?

Chapter 15 in his book 'Through The Mist'

Rick Golder & Mark Dean (Kodak) have written about the lake over the years too - mainly in Big Carp mag back in the 00's.
