The rivers Lugg and Teme, tributaries of the seven, have done fish too 26lbs to salmon anglers fishing worms in dirty water conditions. So do not say that other anglers are exaggerating.
I have been on netting parties and caught Tench too twelve pounds, where they were were supposed not to be present or even stocked. This was back in the 1977′s. which were fished by excellent anglers some of them top names and they were shocked. Barble and Tench are not the only species to do this. If you knew Micky L like I have for thirty years, he caught the second biggest Pike at the time in England of 44lbs.02oz from a water that was not supposed to be able to do it. I was all in Anglers mail so years back so this should rest the case.

lee thanks for the spelling lesson .Never heard the word cant sounds rude to me did you mean can’t well lets hope you can fish better than you can spell.You may be correct about fish growing to this size only on tidal rivers, have you never seen a river in flood try and go out and do some winter fishing and look at the water levels.I wonder if fish swim in flooded rivers, i will have to find out and let you know.

i fished 1a for five hours on saturday i arrived around 10 .30 to find the car park empty i fished for about 1 hour on peg 30 without a rap then walked up and got in tight up to the wall on 1a fished while 4.30 had fourteen barbel to 9 pounds lost five to snags all on 8mm hali fed 2 and 4mm carp pellets through a 3 oz feeder my best spell was between 1 and 2 oclock when the warm sun was on the water just goes to show that you dont have to sit there all night to get a few fish when you are lucky enough to drop on the boss peg on your first visit to collingham in over twenty years ha ha
