Following the fly tying the Cygnets were split in to groups to fish the Meadow Pond and the Mill Pond. The experienced Cygnets were fishing the Mill Pond and the less experienced fished the Meadow Pond. There were 18 Cygnets at today's session.
Mill Pond
Meadow Pond
The weather was bright and sunny, but was very cold with a strong wind for the entire session. The Cygnets did very well to brave the wind, which made casting and fishing very difficult at times.
It was not long on the Mill Pond before Robert Fyfe was into the first fish of the morning followed by William Addison who hooked and landed a superb, rainbow. Robert Fyfe then got his second fish of the day.

There were a number of fish around the ponds. The Cygnets fished hard throughout the morning. Cameron Smith hooked and landed a Tiger trout from the Mill Pond midway through the session. Thereafter other Cygnets were into fish, which gave some excellent sport to the Cygnets.
