Swanswater Cygnets Barbecue

The Swanswater Cygnets held their annual fishing barbecue this evening. Unfortunately the weather was dull and wet. This did not dampen the cygnets spirits.  The Cygnets were divided into 3 teams with team captains William Addison, Abbi Hutton and Robert Fyfe. The teams were chosen by Angus MacDougall, Chairman. Each team had a waterside assistant to help.

The rain was heavy at times but this did not stop the Cygnets. The first fish to be successfully landed was a hard fighting rainbow by Robert Fyfe followed by a superb rainbow caught by Cameron Smith.  There were fish showing all around the Mill Pond with the golden trout giving the Cygnets some fun trying to catch them.

 

The barbecue was held half way through the session with Angus MacDougall and Alasdair Lohoar in charge of the cooking of the beefburgers and sausages.

 

After the barbecue the Cygnets had fun trying to burst balloons by casting fly lines into hoops. Following this the Cygnets were back onto the Mill Pond to fish for the final part of the session.

 

 

The Successful Cygnets were:-

  

                                            Robert Fyfe                                                     3 Fish (2 retained and 1 returned)

Eddie McKillop                                                2 Fish

Cameron Smith                                                 1 Fish

Mathew Beattie                                                 1 Fish

 

 

The overall team competition was a draw between Abbi Huttons and Robert Fyfes teams with 3 fish each.

 

 

It was a great evening despite the rain. It became dry and clear towards the end of the session.
