Sunday 14th August

14 Cygnets attended todays meet. The morning started as normal with fly tying with Jimmy Miller. Today the Cygnets were shown and tied the "Cat's Whisker".

The weather was mixed with sunny spells, showers and a brisk wind at times.

Professional Casting Instructor Thomas Anderson demonstrated and instructed 4 new Cygnets on the grass in the art of fly casting.  Meanwhile the more experienced Cygnet's commenced fishing on the Millpond.



It was not long before Robert Fyfe hooked and landed a fish the first fish of the day. This was followed shortly by the second fish for Robert.

New Cygnet Stewart Allan was delighted to hook and land a 2lb 4oz blue trout which was netted by fellow Cygnet Robert Fyfe.

Shortly after a cry was heard from the corner of the Millpond where Cameron Smith was hooked into a big fish.  The Fish swam into a large patch of blanket weed which was on the line, the fish was seen a few feet behind this, staying deep. With some encouragement and advice by Alasdair Fyfe, Cameron's fish was successfully netted by fellow Cygnet Robert Fyfe.  The Rainbow Trout weighted 4lbs 8oz.

Robert Fyfe - 7 fish (2 retained and 5 fish returned)
Abbi Hutton - 1 fish
Stewart Allan - 1 fish
Cameron Smith - 1 fish




Well done to all the Cygnets.
