Carsington Match Report - 21st October, 2007
This was the last day at Carsington and our final match of the season. We were greeted by Tony who offered tea and mince pies; he then spelled out fishery rules and where not to fish etc. and warned us of icy jetty and slippery boats.We went forth in fog and a flat calm which was very eerie, did not see any fish rise and of course not a boat in sight. Soon after 9.30am the Sun peeped through and one could see people walking along the dam wall and another boat or two! Flies on the day - Rosemary caught a nice fish as the Sun appeared and a tiny ripple started. A floating line orange/yellow Blob on the dropper, Melvyn followed suit and we then caught on Black Nomads, thereafter life became very hard for us, losing one or two and just having odd plucks.The rest caught up using Black & Green Fritz on intermediate lines, and some fast sink and Orange Boobies. Terry had a golden patch about 2.30pm with Gold Headed Olive Fritz on intermediate, having not had a pull all day. It was great to have a good turn out and see some new names in the first 6, plus others having a go for the first time. Congratulations to Paul winning his first Colwick FFC match.
