Warm up…
Bob, Mark and I have just had a great time doing a pre season warm up for the Crediton Fly Fishing Club. We had a good turn out and a finished things off with a barbie and then some fishing. I am proud to be a memeber of the club and I have been for a while now. They are a great bunch of people and the fishing to excellent. You are only going to catch wild fish over the 6+ miles of water and there is a mixture of venues to suit all abilities.
It was great to see 3 ladies along too and they all did a great job. I always find ladies are elegant fly casters as they don’t use testosterone to propel the line out to the horizon! Alison was hauling like a star and Helen and Kirsty put quite a dent into our trout population. It was nice to see some pre season tackle purchases getting their first work out.
Having 3 lakes enabled us to cover lots of stuff and it was good to see some double handed rods in attendance that Bob weaved his magic with and passed on lots of tips. We are lucky that the lakes are pretty sheltered so the wind wasn’t as much of a problem as it could be but we covered all casting eventualities for a typical day on the river.
We are on the final countdown until the river fly fishing season starts and I hope with a few tricks in the armoury that members leave some fish for me!
