Today was the first day of the Swanswater Cygnets Junior Angling Club's fishing season. The Cygnets were delighted to be joined today by their Honorary President Mr Paul Young, who spent time with the Cygnets giving them advice and encouragement.
It was a cold but bright and sunny day with a steady breeze at the start of the session. There were 11 Cygnets at today's session who were eager to start fishing. Once the Cygnets dew their pegs from the hat they were fishing.
First of 2014 |
The first fish was hooked and landed by William Addison followed by his second before any of the other Cygnets managed to hook a fish. It was not long after this when Cameron Smith and Robert Fyfe hooked into fish. The fish were showing around the pond at various times throughout the session. Overall the Cygnets had a tremendous days sport with 4 Cygnets managing to bag up and then go onto catch and release thereafter.
Waiting for a take |

Robert Fyfe - 2 fish and two returned
Cameron Smith - 2 fish and one returned
