Basinful of Big Fish

 

We were informed by the fisherman who came to fish under the sign saying ‘no fishing’ that there were Perch, Roach, Tench and Chub circling around in the Junction winding hole. Some were about eighteen inches long and he reckoned the biggest weighed around two pounds. There seem to be a lack of ducks  in this area probably because ducklings are on the Pikes menu.

There are two Mileage Plaques at the junction and the round one informs us that we are fourteen and three-quarter miles to the River Trent.
