I never caught a fish there, once lying to my dad I did catch a fish. He smelled the hook and said yeah sure, good one. My first rod was a bamboo one, so we all went fishing at the Zegerplas to try it out…didn’t catch anything and then my mom caught a Brasem on her first try, and we were all in panik. Another guy fishing there netted the fish and took the hook out.
I also remember there where motor cross races on the garbage dump near Zegerplas that was later developed into a park. That good old smell of garbage and 2 takt motorbike engines. And I do remember seeing speedboat races on the Zegerplas in that time.
Alphen aan de Rijn as I remember was a good place to start at in life.
It is! Hope your memories are good ones!
I feel lucky to live here. And i too enjoy fishing in these parts :)
Thanks for your kindness. Have a good one!

Ha!
I used to have a bamboo rod as well. Most i catch are perch. Friends have catched big carps over there. Lots of life in those waters.
I think the dump you mentioned is now a golf course. With a small forest around it, it is one of my favorite spots for a good walk!
