Colwick Fishery Taster Day – Tuesday 16th August Run by Colwick FFC



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.
