go on their website mate.

Most popular res`s are (in no order) the 1,2 & 3. It can be a race to swims on many occasions, especially weekends. Other side (low/high maynards) are less busy. A lot of nash bait goes in, but most bait catches.

No, but was thinking about it myself and the other one called the rise.

You have to know someone who`s already on there to get on the waiting list.

I`m considering joining one of them or somewhere else with similar sized fish. Any suggestions or info please. pm`s if you don`t want to broadcast it so to speak. Cheers.

I fished it around 10yrs ago and yes it`s good. Days only and depends what you want from a venue. Plenty of big fish in the res`s. I`m re-joining this forthcoming season.

Walthamstow reservoirs you mean?

Just as the lead hit`s the water, stop the line on the spool with your fingertip and the rig should kick away from the lead. Let the lead hit the bottom on a tight line and it should be ok with what your using.

Anyone going over there in next few weeks? I`m going for 48hrs for the 1st time. Sounds like a nice place.

Some hooklength materials in lower breaking strains tangle easier. Higher breaking strains/stiffer material such as fluorocarbon because of the anti-rejection properties and hooking effects. I`ve used braid in 4lb,7lb & 10lb and it`s ************e. It just unravels itself during a session, but in 15lb it`s fine. So in a nutshell - desired effect and presentation. Also, the rod and mainline cushions the fish lunges etc, but a short hooklength of lighter material will break before the mainline.
