Hello russ. Yeah walked across the flats many times myself and Dover road. Don't know if I mentioned on any of your other vids, Wanstead ornamental lake is no more. Council took all fish out and it's dry you can walk across it now. Such a shame cos that was my fave place to fish. I even told my family I want my ashes in the swim next to the wall that's left from the old priory. But that's not gonna happen now. They took all fish out of whips cross lake as well. Anyway great vid russ. I'm on me fave perch lake at mo. Got a 5lber in there but I've only managed a 3lb perch out so far. Fingers crossed. Anyway good health to you russ and look forward to more of your vids.
Hi Barry, yeah I heard it has all changed which is a real shame as Wanstead was one of the places were I learned how to fish. Have so many great memories and old pics of the place. Happy Days they were. Thanks Barry and good health to you as well 🐟🎣👍
wow....we kids used to catch the bus from Barking to fish Wanstead Park Lake via the Dover Road trek. Fished the Ornamental later (not allowed at that time but we did it anyway) and had tench and crucian there. I can recall anglers fishing the Flats lake when we first went there, we saw them from the bus. So sad to hear about the demise of Ornamental, and Hollow Pond, a terrific Tench water when I was a teenager. Good luck with the Perch target buddy.
@ They were good days James and the ornamentals was a great place to fish. I would night fish it on the odd occasion with a mate although I don’t think it was allowed but plenty did. I plan to do a video chatting about my early days and fishing the boating lake and ornamental waters are firmly in my early fishing days. I had my first proper day catching goer Roach from the boating lake plus I had a bakers dozen on the lake as well. They were fantastic days and I virtually lived on those lakes in the six weeks holidays. Other local waters in the area was the small lake near Dames Road, Sandhills and Hollow ponds at Whipps Cross which was another great tench water 👍🎣🐟
Yes mate I enjoyed this video,like you say people can't get out every time they want to which I think makes you very keen for the next time eh russ.looking forward to seeing you catching your PB Perch hopefully soon ,tite lines mate,
@@pauledwards6470 Thank you Paul it was frustrating not getting out this weekend but in these winds it would have been a nightmare. But like you say it makes looking forward to the next attempt even more and I am keeping my fingers crossed that I find a big 4lbs plus stripey 👍🐟🎣🎥
