CFF C Taster Day 24th July 201


Comments have gone on Facebook before my report! Daniel Down, one very happy participant posted a great photo on facebook showing his fish for the day. Tea was sorted! Chris Hawke has started fly fishing and could cast but no fish to date. Bingo he fished with Kez who showed him how to do it with 10 and Chris had his first trout – 11 to the boat.
A further three had their very first go at fly fishing, some finding the casting hard to get the timing right. Like learning to ride a bike, once you can do it, it all seems so easy! Until you get the action right it all seems so hard and a lot to take in. Persevere guys!
A great day and not too hot after our mini heatwave, the water temperature was still hot though which meant the fish were near or on the bottom. Best method was a sinking line used by tutor Kez with a Yellow Dancer on the point and a Sunburst Blob on the dropper. A few more fish were hooked and lost, Callum at least had a good pull but did not act quickly enough in raising his rod, others had a few pulls too.
Thanks to all who volunteered their time to help and share their experience with newcomers whom I hope we shall see again. Do not hesitate to contact the club or Colwick Fishery. Special rates for novices who join the club and wish to take a season ticket at Colwick.
Thanks too to those who have already commented on the day so positively, it makes it so very rewarding to those of us who put the days together. All comments are appreciated so that we can improve future events.
