The eighties for me and many other anglers of the time had been about exploring lakes abroad. It seemed like every lake on the Continent held carp, how large we didn't know and the carp had no names. .This was a time of just looking at a map and picking out a nice lake to fish. Whatever. if you ever caught a fish it was a celebration. Every day and every take was a magical mystery tour. Every lake you looked at on the map had the potential to be your ultimate dream lake. They didn't all prove to have that potential, but each visit to a new, unknown lake was a true adventure .I'm thankful that I was there and I smelt the roses." Rod Hutchinson in his New Foreword.
