I fished from shore at Tunkwa one warm early summer evening.  the best chironomid fishing I ever had.   Lucky for me it drops off nicely and I could get to watch everything around me like the birds,  the other anglers,  the sunset,  and of course my little float which kept going down constantly.    It got so busy with bites  that when I went for a whiz;  I had to clip my fly line to my chair to make sure it did not get carried away by a fish.    Have a good time,  bring a folding chair because you might be waiting for the fish to find your bug.
