Colwick FFC at Draycote
Sunday 9th July 2017

The bright and hot morning before we even arrived at The Fishery meant it would be hard fishing for sure! This was certainly the case with most of us heading for the boils first thing, but none did very well. That went for many other boats there too. Some of us went off to other areas in the hope of finding fish - to no avail in most cases. Then it was return to the boils.

Kez did best taking 7 fish on a Di 7 with a Wufta Booby, John Parnham I think was fishing with a Tube fly, Rosemary eventually got going in the middle of the day taking fish on a red Cormorant, a claret hopper and Diawl bach booby all fished on a Fast Glass. Keith fished a Di 3 to get some of his fish and Josh took a lovely 3lb Blue on a Floater. So we all used very mixed methods.

It was good to welcome new CFFC member Bob Farrow Johnson on his first outing with us and guest Brian Simmons who had 4 fish between them.

Tom & Bill also explored the reservoir, avoiding the boils as we are unable to fish them in a match next week, and they took 4 fish between them. Hopefully it will cool down by next weekend and the water temperature will drop. 

Result as follows;
Kez Saxton 7 fish 17lb 12oz Best fish 3lb Rainbow
John Parnham 5 fish 10lb 11 oz
Rosemary Gunn 5 fish 9lb 12oz
Keith Prowting 4 fish 8lb
Bill Richardson 3 fish 7lb
Josh Wheeler 1 fish 3lb Best fish 3lb Blue
Tom Morton 1 fish 2lb 5oz

Tight lines to the team who fish The Inter Counties Cup next Sunday.
