Creaseys Fishing – 20th March 2011

After a quick half hours casting lesson from David yesterday I took the rods and gear he kindly lent me over to Creaseys for my first try at fly fishing.

Pushed my luck a bit and tried to fish from the downwind bank (where all the natural food will have been blown). What a surprise, my casting wasn’t up to it, so moved around a bit to cast across the wind. Well well, third cast and I was into a fish. After a short fight he was in the net and very soon after, in the bag (2lb 6oz).

Hooked two more (lost one) and saw the flash of a brownies flank as I pull the lure from the water. Not bad for my first try.
