If you know where to go, yes. A lot of the easily accessible waters have taken a turn for the worst for a number of reasons..

Welcome aboard.

If you find an old banger and deep barrow tracks going along the bank they just might lead to an old codger fishing with lovely 60's gear.

If they do you have struck gold!
