The Mystery of the Lost Rod
Earlier today a member of the TAA committee received a call from an angler who had had their rod towed into one of the lakes at Maunsel by a carp. I'm sure we have all been in the same if not similar situations.
The gentleman let us know which is great and gave a valiant attempt to retrieve this himself, unfortunately he was unable and left, minus a rod and reel.
As a responsible club we didn't want a rod in the lake, or worse, a potentially tethered fish. So after a long day at work, I grabbed a lure rod and drove the 40 mins from my home to the lake. On arrival at the lake I couldn't see the rod so I spoke with another angler who was fishing. He told me that a short while earlier someone had arrived at the lake, immediately walked around to the area where the gentleman had been fishing and used a branch to pull a rod from the margins. This person then left along with the rod and reel.
We assumed that perhaps the gentleman had returned and got his rod back, which had since drifted into the side. A quick phone call confirmed this was not the case.
We're now assuming that somebody else who was at the lake today saw what happened and is now in possession of the rod. As yet, nobody has reported this to the club.
Maunsel has a camera, so we are able to check car registration plates and also the anglers who were there today.
Can anyone help shed any light on this? I'm hopeful we can reunite the gentleman with his rod.

Well done to the angler who reported his lost rod to the club - we all make mistakes. Lost a whole box of flies with my name and phone number on it once. Some struggle to differentiate between finding and stealing. Hope this isn’t the case here and that it finds its way back to the rightful owner.
Well done for coming over to 'rescue ' rod and possibly fish, credit to the club. I was there when the guy retrieved the rod from the margins. Odd that he knew where it was.
For those of you that wanted to know what it would have looked like if it was as an individual league.
Sorry but I’m not working out the weight count back. For those of you that find yourself in a tie.
