Pictures from Thurlaston Complex
Greenhill youth at one point we had 64 registered and fishing 6 matches at 21 a time - then came PLAYSTATION !!!
Doug Hayes - crippled his back playing Rugby but enjoyed fishing with us - i designed some PCB's for his company in my spare time
Who could forget the mighty 'Colk' .....here on an evening league match at Thurlo lake
Sometimes after a morning match at Rothley we would pack up the car and drive to the Trent at Thrumpton on the Coventry DAA book. I would use up the bait from the morning and catch well on hemp and Tares.
My eldest Sarah learning well
Tony Potter with a Dogius Roachious - Rutilus rutilus
It was pitch black and we could hardly see where we were going then we came up to a wire fence which i touched with my leg and i got a shock so we decided to go under it carefully - eventually we got to the shingle bank where we would spend the night on .
Next day after great fishing we returned to the car park only to notice we had gone under the wire fence protecting a cricket square / pitch from grazing sheep ! - bloody idiots we were !!
