Olympic Legacy

Not much been going on here this week. We're settling in to winter and the seabass fishing is getting good. Fishing was good on Monday and although I've not had any really big fish yet, they're starting to show up in reports. Encouraging!

There are some new shore marks I'm keen to explore too, and revisit the area where the Olympic village was built, a lot of it was closed off during construction and the games so this is the first winter these spots will be open for a few years. There are new structures that will attract bait and of course bass, so a few trips at different tides will be in order to get to grips with the spots. I'm sure I'll not be the only one looking to get in there, but luckily I'll be going on Mondays so I'll probably not have to contend with other anglers.

In other news teleworking has come to an end. Being back in the office I can't go down my local river before work any more and doing much less tying, so I decided to do an overdue re organisation of the fly tying room. At the moment that feels like a mistake, but I'm sure when I get it finished I'll be happier with things. Possibly, I'll even be more likely to keep it tidy, but that's probably just pie in the sky.
