Long time Stanwell resident ‘Maggie’ of Holywell way tells the tale of taking her children to a nearby lake for fishing when she was a young mother. She would tuck jam sandwiches and a fishing rod in the pram with her kids and spend the day by the water. The story goes that whilst enjoying the tranquility of a summers day she saw a huge pike come up from the deep and swallow a swan! – Pike are known by local anglers to be dangerous fish having rows of razor sharp gnashers and growing up to 8 feet long in some rivers. Local fishermen from the Charlies Cafe area claimed that the story could be true, they had also seen coots and ducks swallowed by pike, they said for a pike to take a swan down it would have been a monster…
