Was fishing with a friend at Lechlade yesterday, and the trout were really not playing ball!! my friend hooked a large fish which he initially thought was a big brown. finally got it into the net, and it turned out to be a large common carp! Hooked fairly in the mouth on a 1.5 inch heavy marabou damsel!! we returned it without weighing, but estimated it at about 17-18lb! I'll post a piccy if i can.!

I would like to see a picture of that their are alot of different kinds of coarse fish in lechlade as i was talking to one of the staff.
