Walthamstow - 01/10/07

Wind was coming from the NE, so started on the railway bank close to the inlet.

As I set up, I noticed a fish breaking the surface, so I decided to go with a CDC and a Dial Bach on a dropper.

Then, just last week I noticed a shoal of stockies speeding around on the surface.

they were in a v-formation like a flock of geese, following the leader. While they were around I got a couple of tugs, and snapped one of. Caught one on a CDC.

Went up to #5 when the fish disappeared (may have gone down as the wind got a bit colder), and fished the causeway with no action at all or view of a fish.

Went back to #4 by the inlet, set up a pair of boobies and tryed to fish the depths looking for the fish and had no joy.

The shoal came back briefly and I managed another couple of bump, but nothing connected.

1 fish but action here and there made it a good 3 hours!

1 - 0 - 0

As a side not, have noticed that the syndicate resevoir; East Warwick is fishing really well, including a few really nice brownies over 5lb!
