Colwick FFC at Thornton - Sunday 3rd April

Back to Thornton on a very pleasant day. It was overcast to start with and then some sun to warm us up at times during the day. The Club decided to fish to a 4 fish limit and then catch and release, a more reasonable ticket than the 8 fish limit.

I am glad to say all 11 of us had our limit and all went on to release several more so a good day had by all. The fishing was generally with an intermediate, Di 3, midge tip or floating lines depending on the time of day. Black and Green was probably the most productive overall along with buzzers for a period of time which was superb sport and certainly RG’s favourite method of fishing! Although small fish they were in excellent condition and gave a very good account of themselves. A number were lost and most of us experienced many more pulls.

The overall winner was John Parnham with a bag weight of 10lb 6oz which included the heaviest fish of the day of 4lb 1oz. Paul Lievers had a nice brownie in his bag weighing 2lb 2oz.

The overall result is as follows:-

John Parnham 4 fish 10lb 6oz

Paul Lievers “ 8lb 2oz

Tom Morton “ 7lb 11oz

Kezz Saxton “ 7lb 10oz

Bill Richardson “ 7lb 10oz

Rosemary Gunn “ 7lb 5oz

Keith Prowting “ 7lb 2oz

Roy Henderson “ 6lb 13oz

Ron Madden “ 6lb 10oz
