5th Feb. FROZEN SOLID this morning CLOSED, with further frosts forecast we will certainly be frozen for a while.... Last week was again pretty quiet due to the cold conditions, but 130 fish taken (week ending 29th) including a 7lb 6oz for Elwyn Welch on a Montana. Still very clear water. Cats Whisker doing particularly well in the colder conditions, with most fish taking marabou goldhead patterns in green, black, white, orange on floating lines in top 2-3 feet of water, although some nymphs (buzzers, bloodworm) still taking fish. Finding the productive spots is more important than choice of fly - keep moving! The bridge is not in use so pick your side at the entrance. Syon regulars will be saddened to hear that founder Season Rod member A L POPE (Tony) passed away on 26th January aged 82. His almost legendary fishing and casting skills together with his determination to fish in any weather were well recognised by every regular angler over the last eighteen years that he enjoyed fishing here at Syon.
