I wander round Stowe every now and then Drawbagnadin - probably once or twice a year - on a nice day you can clock the basking bream - love the place, even the missus doesnt mind a wander round it

Yes - day tickets off the rangers drawbagnadine - but gone a bit 'pricey' though for a council controlled venue on what isnt an 'easy' venue

You can have 'red letter days' on there, but I've had a couple of gruellers in the past too

I fished Napantan one night and on packing up a section of pole slid in. I tried to retreive it there and then but couldn't reach it. I could still see it though.

At the time i was doing my apprentiship at Loughbrough collage, so the day later during dinner, a few of the lads and i went back to get the section. I stripped off and went in.

Well it was that crappity smacking cold with every step i went further in the cold just took my breath away. I managed to just get my big toe inside the section end and get it out. I was up to my neck by then though. Brrrrrrr
