Final Fling
Nos 4 & 5 reservoirs
Saturday 27th January
Start when you like.
Finish 4.00pm.
Biggest Fish wins.
Our casual whip-round event, marking the time when the reservoirs used to close for fortnightly break. You just need one fish, as long as it’s a good one. These lumps often wait until the afternoon before they start moving, so it’s worth sticking it out to the end. It wouldn’t be the first time a ‘last-cast’ fish has won the shield.

Instructor Andy Hathaway (GAIA & AAPGAI) has arranged a few dates for the new season, and will add more in due course. Andy is a full-time professional game angling instructor of 30 years’ experience who has fished Walthamstow regularly since the 1960s. Tuition focuses on casting, tackle and fly choice, knots and retrieve styles, with the aim of getting beginners to return on their own, with a chance of catching. Thanks to the generous co-operation of Thames Water, completion of the course entitles you to a half-price season ticket. Not a bad deal at all! Book via Andy’s website at www.flyfishingtuition.com>>
