I wouldn't know what to do if I wound a stiff in. I mean how would you go about weighing it for a start off? And would be a difficult trophy shot too.

My grandad was telling me that his dads mate back in the days, dragged one in on the Severn somewhere. He said it had loads of tackle stuck to it!

I heard a story about an incident that happened to a carper which I was told happened at Cutt Mill. Apparently some guy was fishing near the dam end and hooked into something heavy. In trying to free his line a stiff floated to the surface. Anyone ever heard of this?

If someone leaped out of their bivvy at me holding their truncheon I would probably do one as well!

Fished Broadlands way back and was bivvied on the far side with my bruv. During the night I heard whispering behind the bivvy and some weird cackling which frightened the **** out of me. Suddenly the bivvy shook with a loud wailing outside. Grabbing my trusty truncheon, I leapt out of the bivvy and whirled round shouting what the ****s going on. Suddenly these two drunken pratts screamed and shouted out they thought I was someone else and ran off, one tripping over on a guide rope as he went. In the morning I realised that in front of the bivvy was a small raised mound of a good 8 inches in height. I was obviously standing on this waving the truncheon over my head which means my silhouette would appear to have been something like 7 feet tall. Don't know who was more scared, them or me!

30 years ago it was a little paradise, natural crystal clear water with big Pike, Carp and Tench. Was surrounded by mature bushes until Dave Barratt, the owner, and his bailiff had the idea of opening it up and started to charge in line with Bury Hill Fisheries. Totally ruined it. Now owned by someone else who I believe has made some improvements, but haven't been back to see it myself.

Doing a night anywhere in the Lee valley at the moment is pretty scary stuff, seeing if you still have all your tackle when you wake up at first light.
