****** ****** ******..... damn damn chuffin bloody hell... etc etc.....

Fantastic day!! I have never 'ever' had a day where I have caught fish averaging 5lbs... and returned doubles and 6 - 7 and 8 lb fish!!!! First 'ever' ressie double and the class and size of fish has to be witnessed... I have been around for a couple of years or so and this place is 'now' the tops for huge fish..... Draycote and Toft Newton for me now if I'm not on the river.....

Ps, Me and Frank came second with 12 trout for 42lbs 4ozs .. no time bonus... we were 'pipped' by a mere 10 ozs It must be some sort of record??

awesome fishery ifor great day had by all an absolute credit to you and craig the quality of the fish was outstanding draycote must surely be the best fishery in the country bar none

With all due respect the fish quality is a result of a fishery that has been lying untouched for 18 months or so.. i'd say you can thank Keith the previous manager for the fish numbers that are in this fishery.. but good luck to you both the ground work was well and truely done, his boots will take some filling.

Many (95% maybe more) of the fish caught were stockies.... I asked Ifor if he could keep it up and he answered 'YES'.... It will make for even better sport when they 'mend-up' later in the year silversedge.. these were bars of silver but stocked fish.
