Worth the risk?

An area of drain I fish runs along the side of a large RSPB nature reserve reservoir. I have never fished it (the res) as it is strictly no fishing. However I have often spent many a day down there fishing the drain and never even seen another fisherman or birdwatcher. It would be very easy to put a sly rod in the res behind me (hidden behind hedges etc) whilst i fished the drain as usual. I am certian that the pike have acess between the drain and res and going by some of the pike i've had in the drain I reckon the pike in the res could go much much bigger.
So, would you risk it? And if on the off chance i did get caught what sort of punishment could i face? lol Smile

I am allways up for combat fishing, Now whats the word they use for it, Oh yes Poaching, I dont know an angler that hasn't had a go at this sort of fishing somwhere in there lives, Chuck a line in once is risky, Then you will become at ease with it after the next few times, But if you hook a 35Lb'er who can you tell ???
