Sport:   It was frosty start to the day and for the most sport was a bit slow to get going. Lee Cowking however took to the water by boat and got onto a method right from the off. He fished a small black n green lure on the point with green diawl bachs on the droppers. He started out at Grindy’s Lawn where he tempted a few nice fish, he then moved to Gull Island to finish off a very productive short session. He finished with a total of 12 fine trout to the net. Al Beaumont from Lancaster was also out on the water today. Al started out on a Di5 with various lures but had little success so he started to bring in the changes. In the afternoon he switched to a straight floater with three black buzzers and this turned out to be the best tactic. He took nine fish in fairly short succession, 6 from Newclose and three from Gull Island.
From the shore there were also some good catches to name a few: Des Ashcroft took nine from two trees on a black n gold lure, Frank Hartley and Mark Wilson had six apiece from Bell Point on nymphs. The trout seemed to want the flies fished slowly today; they were surprisingly close into the margins. Al Beaumont caught most of his in less than three feet of water. Looks like a great week ahead.
