Merry Chistmas Fishing!

[BoozleBear]

Hi All,

 

Just a quick note to say hi as I have not been on here much in a long, long time. This has simply been because I've done so little fishing this year I haven't had much to talk about on that front.

 

I was playing a lot of cricket in the summer, which used up my passes quite a lot, the rest of my time being taken up with work and family. Can't complain really but I want to fish a lot more next year. I may incentivise myself by joining up at the lakes in Walthamstow as I have heard some good things about fishing there.

 

I should hopefully be on the banks of the Kennet and Avon canal on a croc hunt for a day or two over the Christmas break, and simply can't wait as it's been far too long.

 

Anyway, busy trying to get work done, but thought I would say hi and wish you all great Christmases, happy new years, and wet nets all round.

 

If I manage to catch some fish I'll be on here patting myself on the back shortly!!!

 

Cheers,

 

Simon

Merry xmas Simon,

 

I haven't fished Walthamstow for many years but the Coppermill Stream which runs next to the lakes used to hold some quality Chub and Barbel plus other good fish. And the lakes had some quality Carp and huge bream.

I did hear that the stream was not as good these days since they had a nasty pollution a few years ago but I remember waiting for the fishery to open on the bridge over the coppermill stream watching and feeding some really nice fish in the crystal clear water below; it was like staring into a big clear aquarium.

 

Tight lines for 2009 and hope you have a great xmas.
