The Dog Days of
August! Nine of us turned up at Foremark to find an empty carpark
-the first time I have ever seen that. And yes - the rod average has
been very low of late - 0.9. Could we buck the trend?!
We decided to take 4
fish tickets and see what we could do.
We had mixed
fortunes - Kez took 4 and released 1, John P took 4, and Angus
fishing with Kez had more follows and pulls than Kez but none stuck
on other than his last fish - but that went too when Kez went to net
it. The dropper caught in the net first and the fish then snapped
off.
Another hard luck
story was Keith losing one when it went round the Anchor rope and
snapped off - a great shame as it was one of the few fish seen
rising near the Cascade. He cast to it and it took -and I witnessed
that one! Later he was snapped again and ended the day with 1 fish.
Ron managed 2. Roy
had 3 but did not weigh them in (not sure why not?). The rest of us
got nothing, but the odd Perch and mussels were recorded!
Most successful
lines were Di 5 and Di 3, and flies were Sean Dickie, Heineken,
Yellow Dancer, and a black and green Snake.
Result :-
John Parnham 4 fish
8lb 6oz - Best fish 2lb 11oz
Kez Saxton 4 fish
7lb 8oz
Ron Madden 2 fish
4lb 3oz
Keith Prowting 1
fish 2lb 4oz
A rod average of
1.6. Well done to those who caught fish.
