I'm pretty sure that the Golden Tench I caught on thursday, was a first for me. It was only small, but I thought it was lovely.

I saw Dennis White catch one at Wintersett reservoir, about four pounds it was about 30 years ago. I can still see that fish in my minds eye now.

How did you catch it LU?

I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show to any fellow - creature, let me do it now, let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

Andy there are tench in the forth and clyde canal they are never easy to catch. Last thing at night in June or July is best in my opinion. Biggest problem is always getting them out through the lilies.

Pm me if you want to know some places to go for them.

A bad days fishing is better than a good day at the office. Tight lines all.
