The Dam looks fairly pathetic now a days but never used to be like that when i was a bairn.
Was full a some fairly big broonies, how big well i used to fish it a lot we Duncan and other regulars was BM senior and BM junior Bob junior was always rambling on about the polinar monster he and Bob senior had hooked and lost i was a non believer how ever one night i was fishing down beside the telecom pol Bob junior was up near the neck oh the dam which as you can see now is completely over grown.
any way Bob shouted ave hooked the monster and his line shot past me the old intrepid gear fly screeching and the old glass rod bent double then a rather huge broonie come flying out oh the water once twice and gone ??? ??? ???
A think Bob seniors best was 4lb down in the right hand corner, i never managed a proper big un sadly ??? ???

I had never seen this before so went onto google street view. Intrigued to see a sign "Cast with Care" on the pylon. Presumably people still fish here?
-
You had to fish it from the road side so your back cast was across the road, Not much cars about when i fished it.
Am not sure the fish could survive now as the burn feeding the dam looks blocked off they must have spawned in it or near the neck of the dam all over grown now :cry :cry,

I've seen dimples on the surface when driving past so either fish or gas. A couple of years ago there were two guys fishing on it with what looked like spinning rods or worming.

sinning rods
It's a sin :z4

Doh can't spell and after recent excursion can't fish. :z8
