Sunday 9th October 2011 - Paul Young makes a visit

Paul Young makes a visit to meet the Cygnets

There were seven Cygnets present.    After fly tying Tam demonstrated how to play a fish on the grass using a wooden fish.  Conditions were pretty breezy so only one side of the Millpond was being used.   Morgan  landed the first fish, then went on and caught her second.   Louise caught her first every fish on the fly and Abbi completed the girl trio by landing one after losing one.   Callum Clark and Robert Hiddleston also both lost fish and it looked like being a clean sweep by the girls until Robert managed to hold on to one with just 5 minutes to go.    Paul was great and went round speaking to all the children and giving little titbits of advice re casting, fly selection etc.   Everyone enjoyed the day.   The three girls thanked Paul by presenting him with a bottle of malt whisky.  

Sunday 25th September 2011

Today the Cygnets started as normal with fly tying with Jimmy Miller. The Cygnets were shown how to and then they tied the "Yellow Owl"

"Yellow Owl"

After the fly tying the Cygnets drew their pegs and started fishing on the Mill Pond.  On his first cast Robert Fyfe hooked in to a fish.  This was a truly beautiful looking fish.  Shortly after Cameron Smith hooked into his first fish.

There were 13 Cygnets fishing today on the Mill pond.

The weather was dry with a slight breeze at the start of the session. The wind started to pick up as the morning progressed and ended as quite a strong breeze.


The successful Cygnets today were.

Robert Fyfe - 2 fish retained and 1 returned

Cameron Smith - 2 fish

Abbi Hutton - 1 fish

Callum Clark - 1 fish

Some of the other Cygnets were unlucky when they hooked into fish but came off before the fish could be netted.

Well done to all the Cygnets who were fishing today.

Sunday 11th September 2011

Today's Cygnet session commenced as normal with Fly tying with Jimmy Miller. Today the Cygnets were shown and then tied the "F Fly"

"F Fly"

Thomas Anderson showed the newer Cygnets how to tie a "Spider"

There were 12 Cygnets today.  Professional casting instructor Thomas Anderson gave two Cygnets tuition on the grass whilst the other Cygnets commenced fishing on the mill pond.

Today was very windy and wet. The water in the millpond was a very dirty brown colour. The Cygnets tried various flies including lures, wet flies, buzzers and dry flies. Unfortunately there were no trout caught today, However a few Cygnets did manage to hook Perch.
