Farmoor - 28/12/08

Freezing! 1°C for most of the day and a cold easterly getting up to 15mph.


Rory missed a good day (on the lash the day before), but Lee showed up and managed to catch 6 fish on his first ever trout session.

Marco done alright as well, although failed to catch the biggest fish (honours went to me, wheres my knicker?).

Walthamstow Fur & Feather- 06/12/08

Got up late, first lie in ages and needed it.

Managed to get to the water for 10:30 and started fishing the point on the West Bank of #4. Managed to hook a few but only managed two on the bank to boobies on my new Di7 extreme distance. Fish seemed to be around 20m's from the bank and were hard on the bottom feeding on bloodworm.

Came about 10th on the day, with Andrew Green winning top spot, and some people had caught over 10 fish come the end of the competition at 14:00.

All went over to the Ferry boat for the weigh in, a few beers, raffle and presentation.

My ticket was pulled out first in the raffle (Lucky git), and I was the proud winner of a season ticket for the East Warwick C&R resevoir. Been reading up on it and cant wait to have a crack at it, all the info here: http://web.mac.com/andrewagreen/Site/East_Warwick_Background.html
