Colwick FFC at Colwick Sunday 26th

There were only 6 of us today – on our home water. Disappointing after our excellent tuition day yesterday, or perhaps it was the weather.

The day started ok but the rain came in rather earlier than expected and the fish were not playing ball which did not help. Sinking lines were the answer and Black and Green the favoured dish on the menu, although Keith had a couple on a white fly with some green and pink on his dropper on a Di 5 in Brownie Deeps where the water was a very murky colour.

Most of the fish were taken between the two Islands by Kezz and Angus who bagged up and Keith went on to take four more and release a further three. Rosemary had a bad day at the office losing one, her Di 5 loop coming adrift, getting one on a Di 3 then moving to Buzzer Bay and honour restored a little with two more, and many pulls that did not hang on. Two more blanked.

Star of the future? A huge WELL DONE to Angus fishing only his second match. He only started fly fishing last year on one of the Clubs junior days. He showed us all up with a great bag of fish including the heaviest fish of the day and a PB for him!

The result is as follows:-

Angus Craig Dennis 6 fish 16lbs 05oz Heaviest fish 4lb 10oz

Keith Prowting 6 fish 15lbs 12oz

Kezz Saxton 6 fish 15lbs 06oz

Rosemary Gunn 3 fish 6lbs 02oz
