Thanks Tony for getting this meet going, and to all that turned up and braved the weather, a big thanks to Lyn for the grub and drink.
My day was little to shout about, got there a little late, and found that all the early birds had gone upstream. As no one was near where the entrance to the venue was, this was where I started.
Sat the first half of the day trying to get something out of a deep part of the main river, not a bite, with lots of rubbish coming downstream, it made a very frustrating morning.
Later on I moved up to the fast carrier, however, with the river out of sorts and the limited slow carrier access, the fast carrier was getting quite crowded.
Within a few trots I had my fist fingerling trout (not a blank then ) followed by a few more than a trout, a white spotted thing (not really up with the trout types), then a grayling mission accomplished, a brown spotted thing, a grayling that I managed to mess up on the landing, and a minnow, how on earth could it live in there with all them trout about?
It was good to see some new faces, and the mulled apple juice was top notch.
