With Christmas
long forgotten, the most depressing day of the year (27th Jan
apparently!) over and the nights beginning to draw out we can
all begin to look forward to that magnificent spectacle which
is the English spring time. This is a perfect time to
dust off the tackle and sort out the casting. In fact
the phone has been busy during the first week of February with
many regular guests booking in their fishing early. Some
have even braved the cold weather and visited for a casting
tune up. Our first full day of the year was enjoyed in
the company of Jeff Bradley who came along with many questions
and plenty of enthusiasm. Despite several attempts he
had failed to catch a Trout but by the end of the day that had
all changed, find out more below. I have a feeling that
2005 is going to be an excellent season, we hope to enjoy some
of it in your company.

Saturday
5th February 2005
We
have had little rain for 2 weeks but looking out of
the window on this cold February morning it looked as
if Jeff Bradley had picked the wrong weekend with grey
skies, a cold wind and rain. However the weather
people got it wrong (again!) and fairly soon after
starting our session the rain stopped. The wind
eased and by the afternoon we had some lovely
sunshine. Jeff had many questions and we looked
in detail at casting and how to select flies.
With the line flying out over the lake and turning
over nicely it was not long before our imitative fly
approach had provided success and I was soon netting Jeff's
first ever Trout. Two more fish followed and
Jeff parted with the comment that he "hoped his
wife may stretch to another gift
voucher for his birthday!"

afraid the celebrity has to remain a mystery, all will
