Today's session was very hot with temperatures of 30 degrees being registered, which made it a very difficult day for fishing. Initially, there was a slight breeze that cooled the air down. However, it was not long before it was extremely hot and humid.
The Cygnets fished hard, regardless of the heat and the sun. There were a number of fish showing and rising around the Mill Pond. It was not long before Robert Fyfe hooked into the first fish of the session. The fish was netted by fellow Cygnet William Addison. It was great to see the Cygnets help each other.
The second fish for Robert came very quickly after this. Once again the fish was netted by William Addison. This showed the true spirit of Cygnets. The fish seemed to go off after this, with the Cygnets trying Lures, Dry flies, Wet Flies, Nymphs to try and tempt a fish. However the fish were very reluctant to take anything, most likely due to the extreme heat and bright sunshine.
It was near the end of the session before Alasdair Anderson hooked into a fish. This was safely netted and the hard work and perseverance paid off. Overall the Cygnets did really well to fish in such difficult conditions. With the temperature soring and the very bright sunshine the fish were staying deep.
The Successful Cygnets today were:-
Robert Fyfe 2 fish
Alasdair Anderson 1 fish
The next Cygnets session is on Sunday 21st August 2013 at 09:15am for fishing from 09:30am.
The Cygnets are reminded to ensure that when the weather is very hot and sunny that they use a high factor sun tan lotion/cream and ensure that skin on legs and arms is covered at all times and to ensure that they drink plenty of fluids throughout the session to prevent dehydration.
