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.
Creaseys Fishing – 16th February 2011
As I’ll be helping out with work parties and hopefully Beating again next season (dates dependant), Keith has agreed to let me join the Trout Syndicate.
Should have kept some of those Cock Pheasant tails, shouldn’t I, Doh!
