Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Big trout from the New River!
I found this photo and story in an old history of what was once Trinity Grammar School in Wood Green. Can it really have been a trout?

Thanks for reminding me of this, Colin. There's a newspaper article about it here.

Doh! I should have realised that HoL would have covered this already and I didn't search back to 2013 to find it. Thanks Hugh. Clearly, it was a trout and an interesting story too. https://harringayonline.com/photo/record-trout-caught-in-the-new-ri...

My parents house in Winchmore Hill used to back on to the New River. During the period when fishing was prohibited and the banks patrolled it was teeming with fish, including pike. Water Board staff even used to raft along the river with some sort of fish stun-gun and net to reduce their numbers. Dangling a rod and line over the fence usually attracted an abundance of sticklebacks.
I never caught an old trout, but I certainly dated a few.
