Everyone welcome the more the better bring gloves,bags etc

Stocking May

 The stocking in April was cancelled due to transport problems with the Supplier, so we have combined April and May stockings. The tagged fish also went in today and what a sample they were! We always think that fish are bigger than they actually are but not in this case. The average weight of the tagged fish was 3.8 pound and there were some corkers well in excess of that. Get a grip of the one on the left - nearly had Austin in the water. Please remember that these fish must be returned and again please record any caught in the returns log. Cheers, Dave the Treasurer

Tuesday in the tube

With a couple of days booked off i had a few hours on knottallow tarn the conditions were not ideal blue sky and for the most parts flat calm.

I set up and was on the water by 4.30 with a few fish topping i put on a small beetle and had a few fish out but it was slow,so i switched to a spider pattern and was into fish straight away.They wanted the fly a few inch's under the surface i lost count of the number of fish i caught,and to cap it all i caught the biggest trout i have ever caught out of knott (see pic)

p.s. thanks to Austin for taking the photo
p.p.s sorry for my mugshot spoiling the photo
