Interesting, I had the opportunity to fish a bit of the Bure, the owners of Lammas coach house at the time offered. Never did manage it. Maybe I should have tried to find the time.

Iinteresting, their daughter Sally had certain charms... not sure I'd call her a witch... more of a cross between an Angel and a nymph of some sort

I'll have to search YouTube to see if it comes up. I've never watched it.
All the small rivers/streams in Norfolk have been mullered by the Great Otter Release. Just when they were getting back to something a bit special, they were decimated by the big furry buggers.

I used to find pollock a bit mushy until I started salting it for 20-30 minute's before cooking. Lovely and firm now

Sadly yes, I know of where a 50 lb carp was caught on the upper Thurne, not that many years ago, I know where within 500yds of so, but for the exact reason you have stated I’ve not bothered pursuing!
Not worth the time and effort

The smaller rivers seem to be easier for otters to hunt in, rivers like the Trent are not so badly affected, faster, wider, deeper, bigger... gives the fishes a better chance.
