Colwick Country Park
Fishery hosts another junior day. We had a full complement of 12
youngsters made up of 7 new to Fly fishing, Evelyn who had her first
go at our last day and 4 more who are all showing a lot of promise.
The usual mix of fly
tying and learning to cast or improve their casting technique on the
grass in the morning coached by Mick Huffer and his helpers. After
Bob’s excellent BBQ all were then ready to have a go in the
afternoon fishing off the roadside bank.
The water was
generally very calm and what ripple there was, was a little too far
out. This did not stop Anthony (AJ) catching his first ever trout
having cast himself and struck into the fish as soon as he thought he
felt something. This was taken on a black and red silver beaded
buzzer that he had tied during the morning session. A huge well done
to AJ – the star of the day!
Kayleigh was into the
action again taking the opportunity to play a fish that Keith hooked,
this was expertly played and landed. Patrick also had the chance to
play a fish, however he was snapped off. I fear he played the fish
too hard. Never mind all good experience and we all have to learn the
hard way more often than not!
I hope many of you
will have another go as you all tried so hard, even the odd regular
angler fishing on the day did not do too well!
Thanks to all who
came and helped in various ways. We look forward to our next day on
the 2nd July.
