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.
