The weather was very humid and the sky looked very dark and grey. It felt very warm throughout the session. There were 10 Cygnets who attended the session this morning. The Cygnets were all fishing the Mill Pond today.
It was very difficult for the Cygnets today. There were fish rising around the Mill Pond, with the golden trout showing around the pond which gave the Cygnets fun, trying to target them.
The fish were very reluctant to take any of the flies offered by the Cygnets. The Cygnets tried dry flies, wet flies, nymphs, lures and buzzers, but the fish showed no interest in anything. Mid morning the first fish of the session was hooked by Eddie McKillop which was a lovely Golden trout. Some of the Cygnets caught a few Perch throughout the morning.
There was a shower of rain late morning which we hoped would help the fishing but unfortunately the fish remained uninterested in the flies being offered.
It was late morning before the second fish of the session was hooked and landed by Robert Fyfe. The fish was a hard fighting Tiger trout and gave Robert a good scrap before it was sucessfully netted by one of Cygnets coaches.
The successful Cygnets today were:-
Eddie McKillop:- 1 Golden trout
Robert Fyfe:- 1 Tiger trout
The next Cygnets session is Sunday 19th August with the session commencing with fly tying, setting up and fishing thereafter.
