There were 11 Cygnets at todays session. The weather was dry with sunny spells but a cool breeze persisted for much of the morning. Once the Cygnets were all set up and had drew their platform from the hat they were off fishing.

Swanswater Fishery Hard Fighting Rainbow Trout

The Cygnets were delighted to be joined today by Cygnets Honorary President Mr Paul Young. The Cygnets really enjoy fishing when Paul is giving them encouragement and advice.

The first fish to be taken was a cracking Tiger trout by Robert Fyfe, followed quickly by Louise Dinley and William Addison. Interestingly the Tiger trout were taking at the top end of the Mill pond where at the bottom end Cameron Smith landed a Rainbow.

The fishing conditions were tricky today with a bit of colour in the Mill Pond due to the heavy rain over the previous days, However, the Cygnets persevered and some were rewarded with some good sport. Most of the fish were taken today on either lures or buzzers.

The Successful Cygnets today were:-


Edward McKillop    2 fish and 2 fish returned
Louise Dinley          2 fish
Robert Fyfe              2 fish
William Addison      1 fish
Cameron Smith        1 fish

Following the fishing session some of the Cygnets attended the fly tying class with Cygnets Instructor Jimmy Miller and were shown how to tie a Hot Peach 'n' Orange.

The next Cygnets session is on Sunday 11th May 2014
