Just a quick update on yesterday's outing. Didn't look too promising with a strong baltic easterly and bright sunshine but we managed to get a few fish. Nobody in our club got tuned in to a successful method and it was mainly ones and twos that were caught - mainly to lures in town bay. My boat partner and I didn't get a touch there so ended up drifting, or rather anchor dragging, from the island off the palace right into the west shore. We picked up a few fish on flies varying from bibio snatchers to orange blobs fished on fast intermedaites.
The qality of the fish they've stocked with this year is excellent. All our fish had big tails and fought really hard and the average weight ......... 3 1/2lb
We thought we had been lucky but the average for the whole club was the same with around 10 fish over 4lb. I ended with 4 for 14.5, the best bag was 5 for 16.2
All in all a great day given the weather and time of year.
