Willington Lakes

Keen to avenge last weeks bagel, duck egg, doughnut......I had to go out and chuck some fluff.

Continuing my exploration of DCAC waters I went to Willington to sample the Island Lake and see what I could find.

Started on the North shore with a "down & dirty on" a fly that I often start with on new waters. Fished across the wind and worked my way around to the Checking Station. First up did not see a lot moving however after an hour the odd fish did start to show on the top. Still no pull on the line, so after a few more fly changes I rigged up a 3 fly arrangement with a bloodworm on the point, diawl bach in the middle, and a buzzer on the top dropper. Drifted this across the wind, and bang, first cast was into a fish. My first fish on a Bloodworm! A nice 2lber, was a good size.

Few casts later I was into my second of the day. This one was only just over a pound, but it shot around the lake like mad. This one was on the diawl bach, also my first fish on this fly.

It all went a bit quiet then, although I did see the odd fish take a fly off the top!!

It got close to the time I had to leave, but I saw a fish swim under my feet, so slapped the fly infront of him......and bang, 3rd fish of the day. Again about 2lb.

:-)

All in all a good 3 hours fishing.
