The weather was pretty good with it being overcast with a slight breeze creating good conditions for fly fishing. following a safety briefing and a casting demonstration Colwick FFC member volunteers assisted with some practice casting. it wasn't long before most picked up the basics and were on the boats ready to go fishing. we were told that the previous day had been difficult but were not disheartened. Half the boats went between the islands and the others went along the playground bank.
After a short while Keith went up into Brownie Deeps and found some feeding fish and promptly put 5 in the net, other boats arrived and all encountered pulls and some caught fish. we had a lunch break at 13.00 and had a chat as to how the morning went, it was obvious that brownie deeps was the place to be. so most of us headed back there. lots of fish were showing but most were right up near the bank at the very top of the deeps so only a couple of boats could get anywhere near them.
39 trout were caught and 32 were released, best flies were the yellow dancer, montaddy or the pitsford pea. All those who attended said that they had a very enjoyable day.
