Sunday 22nd July 2012

There were 12 members plus Morgan McDougall helping out. All the Cygnets fished the Millpond. It was rather windy with a slight drizzle so fishing was a bit tricky and only 3 fish landed – Abbi Hutton 2 Tigers & Robert Hiddleston 1 Tiger.

There were plenty of fish seen moving but not wanting to be caught.  Jim Allan and Thomas Anderson took the Cygnets for a knot tying lesson before the session started which proved to be very worthwhile as Cygnets were asking questions waterside as to which knot to use and were tying them themselves.

Paul Young, Cygnets Honorary President visited the Cygnets and did the rounds, not just of Cygnets but also at least twice round Swanswater and spent some time with anglers on the Meadow Pond as well. Paul signed autographs and posed for photos, etc as usual and has promised to come to the next session on Sunday 5th August. Paul will also try very hard to be at BBQ on 25th Aug. 

At the end of the session, Jim Allan showed interested Cygnets and parents how to fillet a trout.
