Sunday 28th August 2011

This mornings cygnets meet commenced as normally with Fly tying with Jimmy Miller. Today the Cygnets were shown and given the opportunity to tie a "Light Bulb"



"Light Bulb"

Today there were 10 Cygnets and 2 new members who attended. the morning's fishing started with the 2 new members getting instruction on the grass from Thomas Anderson, Professional Casting Instructor and Dave Armour.  The other Cygnets started fishing on the Mill Pond.




It was very windy today and cloudy, there was  a cold feel to the wind. Fishing was difficult with the strength of the gusts of wind. This made it impossible for some of the podiums to be used.  There were a few fishing showing but it appeared a lot of the fish were down in the water today.





The Cygnets persevered at fishing. They tried various fly's from lures to dry flies to wet flies and buzzers.

The only successful Cygnet today was Robert Fyfe who managed to hook and land 2 lovely Rainbow's.

REMINDER

Cygnets as the weather can be unpredictable at times throughout the year, always remember that  you should should wear appropriate amounts of clothing and footwear and always be prepared for any adverse weather such as rain. Always bring a waterproof jacket and/or trousers even though the forecast is for dry weather.

Remember also that with autumn approaching that you should be suitably protected with several layers of warm clothing, If you feel hot and want to remove clothing such as a jumper then you can or if it becomes cold you can put it back on.

Always wear your baseball cap and eye protection at all times, and Always Look Behind You Before you Cast.
