It was wonderful to see a full car park, all the boats out and several morefishing on the bank. It was a lovely day too, with the rain holding off until all were in - bar a few spots here and there. We welcomed people who have been on the odd Taster Day, some who started out on their fly fishing experience thanks to Jed and several of our club members. Jed was well remembered.
Sadly the fish did not play ball, due I am afraid to the conditions of late and the one and only fish caught was covered in Argulus (fish lice). This has been reported to The Manager and samples left at the Lodge. It is concerning that none of the very recently stocked fish have been landed since stocking last week.
That apart, well done to Keith Prowting taking the one fish on a Di 5 with a black snake. It should also be mentioned that relative newcomer Chris Hawke had a fish on but lost it at the net - on a sinking line with a green and white fly. Tighter lines next time!
A big THANK YOU to Amanda for organising the food, Dave for doing the BBQ, and Rosemary on the bank to help with casting. She will have her own Ladies team going soon judging by the two ladies having a go.
All those who came to support Jed’s memory had a lovely social time, good food, and lots of fresh air. We decided it was well worth repeating at another time of year when we can hopefully guarantee a few fish!
