The Walker 44 rod was used in APFA I think and CY caught one of the Redmire 24lbers with it.

So where is it now?

Chris Yates borrowed the "44" rod from Mr Ball for the filming of "Redmire Legends", caught the fish we all saw in the film and, upon returning the rod, when the door was opened there was Chris holding out the rod with these words....... " I have re-blooded Excalibur!!!"

:hat:

I thought he arrived (bearing the rod and uttering the immortal phrase) at Mr Ball's house after catching a twenty pounder from Forked Pond on 15th September 1982, after two unsuccessful previous attempts to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of Walker's record.

I could have sworn it was after filming APFA!!?? Maybe I'm wrong, wouldn't be the first time!!!

Mr ball???

Did anybody look into Sywell Reservoir?? Home of the double figure Tinca??

Well worth a visit, although the Wigwams could need an airing.

[Snape]

Sywell reservoir sounds interesting. 45 miles from me.
Should we have it in the places we plan to visit forum?

[The Sweetcorn Kid]

I think so Snape, although the list will be ever increasing and we may not ba able to visit them all, Sywel is well dooable and should be visited as it has a fairly central location and offers something a bit special. Perhaps somebody can dig up some history about the place?

I agree with a visit chaps.
