Saturday 17th August 2013 - Cygnets BBQ

The Swanswater Cygnets Junior Angling Club met this afternoon for their annual BBQ and fishing competition for both A & B teams towards the respective club championships.  The weather was mixed with heavy rain to bright sunny spells with other spells of cloud. Overall the weather was not too bad.  The fishing started at 3.30pm until 5.30pm when the Cygnets stopped fishing and joined family members for the annual BBQ. There were 8 Cygnets and 12 guests present at the event.  The first fish was taken by Robert Hiddleston on a buzzer. There were a few fish showing around the Mill Pond, with a number of fish swimming around the margins, however, the fish were reluctant to take any of the flies that the Cygnets offered them. The second fish of the session was hooked by Robert Fyfe not long before the planned break from fishing for the BBQ.

Following the BBQ the Cygnets returned to fishing on the Mill Pond. There were fish rising but were not keen to take anything that the Cygnets offered them. The Cygnets tried dry flies, wet flies, buzzers and lures to try to tempt the fish. Eddie McKillop hooked into a blue trout and this was successfully netted. Not long before the end of the session, Alasdair Anderson hooked into a rainbow trout which took a dry fly. Overall, the Cygnets fished really hard and everyone enjoyed the BBQ - "compliments to the Chefs" Alasdair and Ian Lohoar for cooking the food on the BBQ.

Details and times will be sent to Cygnets in due course.
