It was
a blustery day -to say the least - for our final Club Outing of the
season.
However
we had a really good turn out with new member Susie, junior Michael,
Alan on the bank, and great to see Norman too if only for the morning
and Roy’s guest.
Jed was having his second go with the club and trying to
perfect his fishing with a Di 5 and blobs and in the end with Paul’s
killer Wufta. Thanks (I gather!) to much goading from Paul Jed
landed 6 fish to finish overall 4th.
He will never live it down, having deserted his nymph fishing, and
much better than the blank last year when he was too proud to take
Rosemary’s advice and continued with his nymphs and dries!
Paul
used the same flies, showing Jed how to do it and even offering him
his rod and set up when he had landed his 6. Rosemary thought she had
the biggest fish at 2lb 8oz until, last to weigh in, Tom had a great
bag weighing in at 10lb 12oz –with his heaviest being 2lb 10oz. Yet
again he beat us all by using a Di 7 with a Sunburst Booby on the
point and an orange fab on the dropper.
John
Parnham fished a Di 7 most of the time with either a Tube or a
Booby, and Kezz started in Buzzer Bay and was first to bag up with 6
fish, all taken on a Black Nomad on a floater. Keith, who fished
with Kezz, was getting upset not catching until past 11.00am on his
usual Montaddy which he continued with all day, using a Di 3 to start
with and switching later to a Di 5. He claimed his last fish shortly
before finishing time.
Alan
fished from the bank and took a creditable 5 weighing 8lb 6oz. Many
who bagged up earlier went on to release quite a few more. Susie
reported losing a few and Michael sadly lost a nice fish. It happens
to us all, and practise makes perfect. Perseverance is the key! A
shame the weather was not kind, as the Lake had been fishing really
well, using nymphs just sub surface during the week.
It was
great to see all the boats out at Colwick today, thanks to CFFC Club
Members turning out in force. Several other fishermen were on the
bank getting their fresh air if nothing else in the gale. But having
said that, I believe all bank anglers caught quite well including a
Pike of around 18lb which was carefully returned. This will certainly
whet the appetite for those participating in the Pike weekends coming
up, the first being next weekend 25/26 Oct.
Results
were very close with only ounces separating most of us, apart from
Tom.
