Could av been a troll...hehee, only jokin bud. Up yer line strength and hook, there might be some big roach and perch under there, perfect place for the big ones to hide out!!

possibly a mallard

i know the rivers round here have some dirty big brown trout under the bridges and if the spot is regulary frequented by people feeding ducks then they will take bread all day ..
The avon is a great example of this but i dont know about your particular water ..

Wow mate that was probably a 3pound roach. I always fish canals and have had 2pound roach out of them.

Could have been anything.

I have had some nice catches of large Chub under a railway bridge on the upper Lea trotting a float along the edge by the wall.
They seem to get used to the trains passing overhead.

Don't forget your landing net though.
