Thanks for the "South West Memories" Ken. It must take a while to compile it all but it's much appreciated.
Hope you and the wife have a happy Christmas and all the best for the New Year.
Kind regards.

Wandle1 - All too true when you say "Not much compares to the peace and solitude we used to have."
I now, looking back, realize just how lucky we were in Cornwall at that time and that it is mostly gone, for one reason or another. Just the memories left.
You'd need a friendly landowner, plenty of money and lots of fencing (if geographically possible, which it often isn't) to recreate and secure the low pressured gems we used to be lucky to fish.

Wandle1 - The last I heard (online, as I am "up country" now) the property had changed hands and the new owner did not want anglers coming and going so it is now out of bounds.
It had Commons mainly, to around mid twenties in the early 1990's and was a splendid secluded location. More often than not I, or we if I went with a friend, had the place to ourselves, mid-week.
Nigel Britton's friend Steve Westbury (now in Canada) did a good write-up called "Tales of Trencrom" under the pseudonym "Carpsava."
If you paste: http://webspace.webring.com/people/kw/waterwize/carpstories.html into your browser you can read it together with stories of College Reservoir and Bilberry Pool.
I have seen it described by another Cornish exile as: "a real gem hidden away in a little valley in the Cornish moorland. It's actually two small ponds, about an acre and a half apiece......... Trencrom was a magical little place, a rare piece of seclusion in a very overpopulated little island."
According to Steve and Nigel they loved sweet baits especially Tutti's, I used Tropicanos and did OK. I remember Gary Thomas (who fished College at the time) saying fondness of sweet baits was a particular trait of Commons.
Unfortunately a stream runs through and Otters may have found and cleared it out now?
The photo below is from the first day I ever fished the place (29/06/90.) They were crashing all over when we arrived, a "cannot go wrong" type of day though not often repeated!
