THE LEGEND
LIVES ON
There are some carp th a t
b e come more than j ust f i s h .
T h ey turn into legends, spo k e n
a b out in hushed tones aro u n d
b i vvies, their names carry i n g
w eight long before they e v e r
t o uch the net again.
At Dinton White Swan, o n e
s u ch fish is Darren’s L in e a r.
Fo r nearly four years, it h a d
a n ished. No captures, n o
v e rified sightings, just t h e
o d d fleeting and unconf ir m e d
g l i m p s e o f a s h a d o w, h e r e
o r t h e r e, bu t m a i n l y j u s t
speculation.
Had it died? Had it been
hooked and lost, or had it
s i m p l y o u tw i t t e d e v e r y a n g l e r
w h o ’d t r i e d ?
Nobody knew for sure, but the
l o n g e r i t we n t u n c a u g h t , t h e
more likely it was that it had
moved n, or so some thought...
One bite can certainly change
everything!
