East London Predicament

[benjamessmith]

Hi guys, I am going fishing on Monday and the missus has offered to drop me at a lake of my choice BUT she cannot pick me up.

So i was thinking of fishing the walthamstow reservoir's because I think its only a 15-20 minute walk from the train station (is that correct?).

Can anyone recommend another lake where I can get home by train after? I don't mind the ressies but have fished there years ago and did not like it (its so harsh).

Anyway thanks in advance guys

OK, so had a complete mare today. missus was dropping me off at walthamstow reservoirs, anyway halfway there I realise I haven't brought my wallet. NO cash NO license. Gets back to the house and now I know I'm not going to get a decent swim so I decide to fish canary wharf dock were I live. Set up cast out, relaxing with a brew

"hi mate you fishing here?"

"erm well yes"

"no one fishes this dock nothing ever comes out" .

I persevered and earned a well deserved blank although I did bait a little area that looks promising as I left 8 hours later(lil red tiny worms coming in on the rig, and under a little wooden disused bridge) and plan to do so every other day this week. i will catch a carp from the dock with no fish

Stick at it & best of luck

thanks, a girl came past when I was fishing and said that her and her fella had been catching roach and bream from the other side of the disused bridge but that they got kicked off as its private so I'm confident that fish are feeding near my pre-baiting spot.
