Today the Cygnets started as normal with fly tying with Jimmy Miller. The Cygnets were shown how to and then they tied the "Yellow Owl"

"Yellow Owl"

After the fly tying the Cygnets drew their pegs and started fishing on the Mill Pond.  On his first cast Robert Fyfe hooked in to a fish.  This was a truly beautiful looking fish.  Shortly after Cameron Smith hooked into his first fish.

There were 13 Cygnets fishing today on the Mill pond.

The weather was dry with a slight breeze at the start of the session. The wind started to pick up as the morning progressed and ended as quite a strong breeze.


The successful Cygnets today were.

Robert Fyfe - 2 fish retained and 1 returned

Cameron Smith - 2 fish

Abbi Hutton - 1 fish

Callum Clark - 1 fish

Some of the other Cygnets were unlucky when they hooked into fish but came off before the fish could be netted.

Well done to all the Cygnets who were fishing today.

"F Fly"

Thomas Anderson showed the newer Cygnets how to tie a "Spider"

There were 12 Cygnets today.  Professional casting instructor Thomas Anderson gave two Cygnets tuition on the grass whilst the other Cygnets commenced fishing on the mill pond.

Today was very windy and wet. The water in the millpond was a very dirty brown colour. The Cygnets tried various flies including lures, wet flies, buzzers and dry flies. Unfortunately there were no trout caught today, However a few Cygnets did manage to hook Perch.
