Sport: An exceptional day had the fish on the surface rising freely up until lunchtime. Tapping in to the frantic morning session was regular Anton Gysbers who had 10 good fish up to 4lb in all but 4 hours! Anton found the fish were hitting his team of Diawl bachs almost the instant they hit the water! A super slow retrieve was paramount to his success, with Hartley’s producing the bulk of the catch. Norman Walker found the trout wanting to chase so he opted for a quicker retrieve and green and white fritz patterns. Norman had 7 fish all from Bell Point. Also finishing with 7 fish was Stocks big fish master himself Bill Orrell. Yes he’s done it again just falling shy of the record with a stunning Brownie of 16lb 11oz. Bill got the take whilst on Bell Point fishing his own tied black and green lure. A lengthy battle ensued with almost all fishing along Ben’s beach coming to a stand still while angles looked on to witness the landing of such a stunning fish! Good effort Bill your going to have to tie me some flies!!
On the boats the fish are still coming from the Causeway and the Northern Shallows were Jim Pickford and Cyril Procter had 12 to their boat. Amongst Jim’s 8 were two lovely fish of 5lb apiece one a Rainbow and one a Blue. A mixture of nymphs won the day with the odd fish coming to the dries too. David Manning had a short session with 6 fish coming to red holographing diawl bachs with Willow Island being the top spot.
The weather is set to remain fantastic for the weekend so it’s a good time to wet a line.
Tight lines Matthew
Bill does it again with this stunning 16lb 11oz Brown trout
