Fish
Wives – For ladies who do and those who would like to... go fly fishing
Fishing Report: Meon
Springs 24th April 2013
Weather:
The weather was warm but not sunny, with a little wind at
times.
Water:
Clear with some weed. Plenty of fish could be seen.
Who Fished: five
including Tracy.
Becky Frost (Photographer) Penny Down, Teta Crowe &
Christine Ames.
Meon Springs is a
good fishery for ladies. They have a
comfortable fishing lodge with WC and offer free coffee and tea if you are fishing.
They have a small shop, selling equipment and clothing. They have a very knowledgeable manger on site
and there always seems to be a few people around, so you are never totally
alone.
The day started with coffee and biscuits as people arrived,
then we had a walk around one of the lakes. Those who were wearing Polaroid
glasses saw lots of fish.
We then went through the practical exercise with those who
had never fished before. Putting together the outfits (rod and line). Tracy took the novices onto one of the lawns,
for a quick lesson in casting. Then we
were on the banks with hooks on our leaders, fishing.
Keith advised us to fish on the top lake using small black
gnats. This was good advice as everyone
had fish on their line. Becky landed her
first ever fish before lunch. Christine,
due to pressure of work, arrived late morning and was straight into her first
fish. She was a star, landing two good
fish on a difficult day.
Lunch was relaxed,
out on the decking at the front of the fishing lodge. We had tea with lemon drizzle cake at four
o’clock. In fact it was so relaxed we
forgot to take photographs. There will
be a next time.
Thank you ladies for a very good day.
