Cygnets BBQ & Fishing Evening

The Swanswater Cygnets Junior Angling Club held their annual BBQ and fishing evening on Saturday 11th June 2011.   Many thanks to Morna & Alasdair Lohoar for allowing Cygnets to hold their BBQ and thanks to everyone who attended and contributed to a delicious feast.


The evening commenced at 6pm with the Cygnets fishing on the Millpond. The weather was dull, cloudy and damp when we all started but the rain stayed off and it became a very pleasant evening though the midges were out in numbers.



There were 6 Cygnets who attended the BBQ and fishing evening. It was not long before the first fish of the evening was hooked and landed by Callum.  It turned out to be a difficult night for the Cygnets to hook fish.  There were a lot of fish showing all around the Millpond, but no matter what the Cygnets offered them, they were not taking the flies.

A big thank you to Alasdair and Angus for cooking the sausages and burgers. 

Fishing commenced again after we had all had enjoyed some delicous food.  The highlight for a lot of us, after the Burgers and Sauasages, was the cream scones.  The fish were really hard to catch, with a lot of the cygnets trying lures, wet flies, dry flies and buzzers in an attempt to see what the trout wanted.





 




Here are a couple of pictures of some of the sucessful Cygnets who caught trout during the session.

The Cygnets return for the evening was:-

Robert Fyfe - 2 fish retained and 1fish released
Callum Doherty - 1 fish
Abbi Hutton - 1 fish

Overall it was frustrating evening's fishing for some of the Cygnets.  The last cast of the evening saw Abbi manage to tempt a fish and successfully landed it just as the light was starting to go. A fantastic end to the fishing session. Well done to all the Cygnets for their perseverance.
