It’s fair skeplt doon today.

Yesterday I said to Graeme that what we needed was a monsoon and today we got it. The rain dance Wendy did last night before knocking off did it’s trick.

I don’t even think that it will be what we really need to get the main bait pond back to it’s former glory. We can only hope.

Certainly water levels are rising, so we’re fairly happy.

Also more than fairly happy were the guys from the Atlantis fishing club today.

They held a competition today and 40 brave souls out of an initial 60 entrants turned up to face the elements.

I don’t think that any one of them blanked – possibly one poor soul – but i don’t know his name, so I’ll spare his blushes.

Try a hook next time matey!

Seriously, well done to all for turning up and to Gordo for winning with the heaviest fish of 2lb 9 oz. I was really disappointed that none of the lads hooked into some of the huge fish we’ve been stocking with recently. But the folks seemed happy enough to be catching well and the banter was pretty good too. 

Some of the lads can testify to the biggy’s that went in today – all double figures – and yesterday I personally put in what I estimate to be  a 16lb+ fish into the bait pond and one nudging the 16lb mark into the fly pond so the fish are there – just waiting on you!!

I’ll post some photos from today soon as well as from the past few weeks – I need to get organised!

Till then, enjoy the rain and the water that it brings to our sport and I hope you come to see us soon for a great days fishing.

Tight lines, and no’ uppa tree.
