This was the 5th
of our taster days at Colwick Fishery this year and it was a hot hot
day, so well done to all who stuck at it all day!
On arrival, while
putting rods up etc, we saw that there were quite a few fish rising
off the roadside bank which we hoped was a good sign.
All participants
were given a talk on health and safety, those without a licence being
covered by our temporary licence for the day. This was followed by
some guidance on casting off the bank before going out on a boat with
a volunteer from the club.
Your correspondent feared the worst and that a blank day was in the
offing. However, 4 fish were landed, 3 of them to the Star Tutor of
the day - Bill Richardson - including the gorgeous 3lb 12oz fish in
the photo, taken on a Montaddy on the point of a Di 5 line with a
Damsel on the dropper, approx leader length 12ft. This meant his
partner Graham had a good time as he got to play and land two of the
fish.
Keith also landed
one so Peter was able to take one home for tea.
Our thanks as always
go to those who give up their time to pass on their love of fishing
and we hope give a good experience to those who come along for a
taste of this magical sport.
If you would like to
do some more fishing please do not hesitate to contact the Club for
more information about the fishery, ticket prices for beginners,
etc., or the Lodge - tel. 01159870785. The club will always do their
best to help you out when needed.
