Coltsford Mill Fishery 23rd March 2023

The weather was very different from a year ago when we were "basking" in warm spring sunshine. This year we had gale force winds and heavy squally showers.

However the 8 fishermen that braved the storms had a good day with plenty of chat and a good few fish caught, many of a very good size.

 We gathered for lunch in the "fishing hut" and of course while we were in there the sun came out.

George Fowler sent me his recipe for Gravalax which we are both using on a couple of our fish (the hardest part being the filleting of the fish which is very hard if you are not an expert. You also need a very sharp knife I have found.

We have other dates planned for this year but these are yet to be finalised.
