Western Court this lovely private, fishery with three lakes stocked with rainbow trout and a stretch of the river Arle stocked with brown trout; is ideal for Fish Wives. We were delighted to find that The Big Green Egg Company had installed their Chelsie Show Stand on the edge of the lake which gave us a wonderful location for lunch.
We had a very good, third day here with 14 fish caught between us. Jessica and Harriet arrived early. Harriet went off to catch the first fish on a green nymph. Tracy gave Jessica a lesson including the roll cast and overhead cast leaving her to practice for a while before putting a fly on. She successfully caught and landed her first fish after lunch. The other ladies arrived and after we had enjoyed a coffee and a walk round the lakes we got on with some fishing.
Christine was straight into her first fish catching three in total. Tracy gave Sue and Penny a lesson on the roll cast. Penny landed a very nice fish off the deck, followed later by Sue, who caught on a Black Gnat., always a useful fly in the sunshine.
After tea we went to fish onto the bottom lake and Becky caught a couple of nice fish. The only disappointment was that Tracy managed to lose a big one, at the net. It can happen to us all. We had enough fish for everyone to take a couple home.
Many thanks to Toby Coles for permitting us to use Western Court for the day and we look forward to coming back on 2nd September.
