CFFC at Toft 21/2/16
Our first outing of the year was to Toft Newton, the weather was surprisingly warm, the wind however was blustery which made casting difficult at best. At least the rain held off. It was an excellent turn out despite missing a few stalwarts.
Most got into a position where the wind was behind them and as it turned out this is where the trout seemed to be.
The locals were catching well on intermediate lines with 2 small boobies, but despite our best efforts we were unable to match them.
David Mee on his first ever trip with us did really well fishing a Di5 with a squirmy worm on the point and an orange and yellow Fab on the dropper. He had his 6 fish limit by 1pm whilst the rest of us struggled. He then went on catch and release and caught another 4 fish, the last was a large trout estimated around 7 to 8lb. Unfortunately for David that did not qualify as the biggest fish as it was not part of his 6 fish limit.

Other participants were occasionally having takes on various flies and black and green seemed to be the favourite alternative. There were many lost fish!
