I can't even remember how many I caught but I was a novice fisher, Ist or 2nd year at new grammar school. So must have been over 40 years ago. We arranged a match v other anglers in the years above us. The venue was the Mill Pond overflow stream, one of the headwaters of the Sussex Adur. It had been pouring for days and the little stream was a raging, muddy torrent. We all found holes up and down the stream and I settled in one which offered any fish present respite from the current. My first lesson in watercraft I guess. I had also just read about stret-pegging, does anyone still do it? ( its not something one does in private with a consenting partner) and it did the trick.
Well, it all went right for me. I had what I can recall a huge bag of roach and 1 clonker that we all agreed was over 1lb but the old scales were not too accurate then. I won the match, my year group won the sweepstake but the older lads would not pay up and because we were smaller could not enforce it.
I mainly fly fish now, my love of small streams has always stayed with me and I still remember that bag of roach.
