All I can say is that it was a
disaster for Colwick FFC. We did our best which was not good enough,
not having practised on the water before and therefore not knowing as
much as others.
Five clubs took part which was good.
The weather was damp to start with, having rained a little on the
way to the fishery, but during the day it dried and as forecast
became hot and sunny. Later in the afternoon there was quite a strong
wind.
John Parnham, fishing a Di 8 with a
big orange fly or a tube, took 5 fish as did Keith Prowting fishing a
Di 3 and 5 with a montaddy on point and small white lure on the
dropper. Kez took 3 using a Heineken and the rest of us were 1s and
2s all fishing sinking lines. The previous fishing reports of
excellent dry fly fishing did not materialize.
The result:-
Derby
80lb 15oz
Leicester
71lb 4oz
Foremark 61lb
4oz
Colwick
48lb 00oz
Kirby
Not disclosed !! Shall we just say The Wooden Spoon?
What worked on the day generally
were black snakes fished on a Di 5 in the morning, and for Jodi of
Foremark a white snake during the last hour of the afternoon. Jodi
took 6 fish in all and her partner Mark 3 fish.
Theirs was the best
boat on the day with a total of 28lb 2oz
Best individual bag
19lb 11oz
Best fish 3lb 12oz
The day was
organised by Martin Brown of Kirby FFC most efficiently with lots of
nice prizes including some generous raffle prizes. Thanks to Martin a
good time was had by all even if it was a little tiring to say the
least!
