  Thats when the trout farm used to flood, I remember it well fishing in the pens from the wood and then trying to get under the P&O fence before the farmer shot you with a salt pellets. I only got hit twice once in the backside and once in the thigh. My mate was slower than me and copped it almost every time. Good trout though

  Coo that takes me back - it's been decades since I've had a shotgun pointed in my direction!
