TA|Insights | Volume Two | Chapter Four | Days Only in London | Jake Wildbore

Having been restricted to day only fishing nationwide during the early part of 2021, everyone can appreciate that limited time is a tough factor to deal with. That being said, there’s a group of venues located in London that have become synonymous with this type of angling, Walthamstow Reservoirs. This complex of reservoirs lies right in the beating heart of the Capital and is famed for its stock of old, beautiful carp that swim in the shadow of some of the city’s most famous landmarks.
Having fished the complex a few times, Jake Wildbore took on the task of tracking down the notoriously nomadic Walthamstow carp. Keeping on his toes, which isn’t easy with a camera crew in tow, he darts around the lovely Lower Maynard for the majority of his sessions. Containing some of the best-looking fish on the complex, the Lower Maynard is certainly a challenge, one which tested Jake to the max!

Really like Jake's style of presenting and fishing on these videos, speaks well, no bluster, just good solid angling and some stunning fish, excellent stuff

[@philunderwood6927]

Returning to carp fishing after a 20 year gap. Things have changed. It's really good to find all the anglers on the TA Team, talk to you, instead of shouting or being really hyperactive while presenting. Keep up the fantastic work guys, live all your videos.

The ever growing capital! Thankfully the fishing is still excellent!

You won't recognise it round there now

Days only… then why the barrow? I’ve fished 72hr sessions on the move the whole time with less kit including bed and bivvie. Make it make sense

[@paulraby2798]

How old is this the platform has been gone for years

[@ThinkingAnglersTV]

Not sure what you are referring to here?

[@LeeVxt]

@@ThinkingAnglersTV the platform with the 2 Cormorants on @8:02 Paul thought it was the one that used to be in the Lower rather than it being the Lockwood one in the video

[@LeeVxt]

That's the Lockwood platform not the old Lower one ;)
