Colwick FFC and Notts Salmon & Trout junior Day Saturday 30th May at Colwick Park Fishery.



Our 2nd day this year. The team had started before I arrived today due to the birth of my first Grandchild yesterday morning! Good news!

There were three new comers today along with three who had their first day a month ago and some more seasoned youngsters. The first fish was caught this morning by Angus, before the lunch time break.

I arrived to be fed - lovely thank you Bob - then to assist with casting and choice of flies to try and hook a fish or two. The good news continues, with Michael catching on a very small black green ribbed buzzer. He had a break and Evelyn took over to catch on the same fly soon after Michael. This was Evelyn’s first ever trout so a great thrill. She said it fought way harder than most of the coarse fish she has played when out with her Granddad fishing.

Congratulations too to Isaac who landed his 2nd trout ever, both having been taken on our junior days.

The day was a little different as there was a Detonate concert which started at 11am in The Country Park today, running through tomorrow as well. Us oldies were dreading it but in fact it was not as loud as we feared. It was not ideal for a peaceful days fishing but no doubt it will be deafening tonight!

This did not stop many fish moving; however they were proving very difficult to tempt, so a big ‘well done’ to those who landed fish. Bad luck to those who lost one or two, but at least I gather several experienced a few pulls here and there.

As always, if any of you want a day’s fishing in the holidays, get in touch and we will try and sort a CFFC Member to take you out and give you a hand.
