Finished the rod of and am well pleased with it, whole process went really well and the finish, whippings, seat and cork all turned out very nice. Feels great in the hand and have to try and arrange a date to field test it.

Halliford Mere - 15/02/09
As I was such a good boy the day before, I managed to blag sunday afternoon at Halliford Mere. Was desperate to get out, and spoke to Brian the day before and prospects were lookings bleak - all the lakes were frozen over.
Thankfully we had a thaw and all the lakes were fishable when I arrived. Used my newish Lorhic 9' #6 and finnaly got too grips with it, and it became a pleasure to fish with.
Managed three fish (was top rod for the day!), and had them on a long leader, 18' and had a black and peacock spider and a orange tadpole on the poing. All the fish took the tadpole, and were caught first swim on lake 2.
Walthamstow - Last two trips of the Season (Jan 09)
Bitterly cold and quite windy, only managed one take on the two afternoon trips. Lee came for some casting practicing on one of the afternoons.
Some fish were caught while I was there and black boobies had done the trick.
Unfortunately, didn't make the last day of the season.
