Story for May competition...

I'd like to share my recent trip to a local lake where only fly fishing is permitted for trout and pike.

I've been suffering from poor health recently and having been looking for a sport to get into to help improve my general well being.

I'm new to fishing and although I've found it can be an intimidating sport to get into (all the people togged out in camo\green gear with enough equipment to sink a battleship) my trip last Sunday made me realise it isn't as bad as I thought.

For a start everyone is so friendly. I spoke to more people along the lake side in an hour or so than I do sitting at my desk for a whole day at work

Secondly, although fly fishing comes across as being a black art that only old wiley characters can master it really isn't that bad. OK I hooked my hat once, my jacket collar (which my mate had to unhook, oh the shame!) and my rucksack. But most of the time the line went where it should have.

Thirdly I actually caught a rainbow trout. It wasn't huge, I don't think it made a lb but I actually caught it on a fly rod by myself. The feeling was fantastic. But more importantly is the after affect that has made a world of difference to me. My well being has improved immensly, I feel like I've now got something that I never had before. I'm not sure whether it's a new purpose, or that I'm now an angler and am part of this huge club I never knew existed or that I'll never feel at a loss of something to do. There's now so much to learn, so much to do and so many people to talk to.

All this from a fish weighing less than a lb and a fly rod

Re: ANGLER OF THE MONTH - MAY COMPETITION

This is my very first Barbel, caught on the 7th May, from a stillwater in Lincolnshire, not exactly one for the purist, but it was in excellent condition and I am extremely pleased.

Also I have been out after Trout again on a local canal, I caught a PB equalling Rainbow of 7lb 1oz, followed by a Brownie of 5lb 13oz, both fish were spotted in the clear water with the aid of some polarized glasses.

Re: ANGLER OF THE MONTH - MAY COMPETITION

 

Hi guys and gals.

09-05-09 saturday late afternoon.

Well managed to get to Manor farm in Bedfordshire again today, last time i managed to catch my PB Bream, that was around four weeks ago and was the fish i entered in last months competition.

Well today i managed to up my PB bream to the one in the photo which weighs in at a hefty 12LB exactly. I have nicknamed it Old two tone for obvious reasons.

It was really heavy coming in, i was waiting for the kick on the line you get from carp, i had had a 16LB common earlier, but the kick never came so i knew it must be a a big bream, but was well happy when it was weighed and photographed by a carp angler on his phone and bluetoothed it to mine.

I was fishinng two swims to the left of the place i fished last time, i couldent get on the swim i wanted as it was already taken, i could not reach the island as before, but could manage only three quarters the way to it. I was using simular tactics but this time using hair rigged halibut pellet.

I was after bream again and was rewarded again with my fish of a lifetime.

Sorry about picture, tried to rotate but would not save when rotated.

My carp PB was smashed yesterday during a 35 minute stalking session at my local pool fishing dog biscuit on the surface. One perfectly scaled common carp heavy with spawn that took the scales to 20lb.

nice fish Alex, but I don't think it's a Crucian, it's a Goldfish of some sort, the fins and the body shape is far more different, thats a decent sized Goldfish though.

On a different note, this is a Rainbow of 4lb, caught yesterday, on floating breadflake, and fought like stink, testing my Drennan Puddle Chucker to the limit, it fought far harder than my 7lber I had last week

Re: ANGLER OF THE MONTH - MAY COMPETITION

 Went fishing in Sweden at lake hackberga. Took forever to find the place but a great location. Got hooked on my first three cast with some small pikes. Felt like a pro but didnt catch anything afterwards.

I concur, the fins are too elongated.
