I was glad
that I did not get there till 2.00pm as apparently first thing the water had
been iced over. I received a warm
welcome from Mike Smith the “main man” and noting that there were quite a lot
of fishers on “the wall” a favoured spot, I decided to take a boat out. The boats at WW are very stable and they have
these amazingly comfortable seats, however, I always have trouble getting the
seats to swivel. I am not sure if it is
me not knowing how to do it or if it calls for a drop of WD40! Next time I must remember to ask.
The fishing
was going to be a bit challenging because the water was obviously cold, the sun
was bright and the water clarity was low.
However, I like a challenge, so having decided to use a big bright cats
whisker fly for visibility reasons and a sink tip to get down I then asked myself
“where would the water be the warmest.”
I settled on the shallows at the north dam corner and drifting in and out there
eventually managed to catch the fish in the picture.
A very
pleasant couple of hours, rewarded with a nice fish and a lovely sunset, what
could be better?
I am really impressed by the work you did in this article. It’s great enough to pull my attention and in reading this article for once to understand that your pen is really mightier than the sword.
