Swanswater "A" & "B" Teams Outing

The Cygnets session today was an outing for both "A" and "B" Teams. The "B" Team fished the Mill Pond with casting instructor Tam Anderson and Waterside Assistant Jimmy Miller.  The "A" Team fished Swanswater and were given the opportunity to fish from a boat. At the start of the session the Cygnets took a number from the hat to sort out the order of fishing from the boats.

There were 2 boats available to the Cygnets, which were booked for the Cygnets by Mr Rab Hiddleston.  The Cygnets went out in the boats supervised by Game Angling Coaches, Jim Allan and Alasdair Fyfe.

The day was mixed weather with the morning starting out very dull with a short period of rain showers. The morning quickly cleared up and became bright and sunny at times. There was very little wind this morning.

There were fish showing around the main area of Swanswater this morning. The first fish of the session was hooked by Robert Fyfe which was a Brown Trout estimated by Jim Allan to be around 4lbs. This was released safely as the Brown Trout season has closed.  Robert was quick to hook the second fish which was a hard fighting 3lbs 6 oz Rainbow Trout which was netted safely by Jim Allan.

 

 

 

When the Cygnets were not in the boats they were fishing from the platforms around the island area of Swanswater with Waterside Assistant David Armour. Robert Hiddleston was successful from one of the platforms.

 

From the boat, William Addison hooked into a fish which gave him a tremendous fight lasting for about 10 minutes- the fish was successfully netted by Alasdair Fyfe and was a plump Rainbow Trout of 3lb 2oz. Alasdair Anderson was also successful from the boat.
