After a considerable gap in our activities due to Covid, our group had not had a chance to get together for some time. It was great therefore to get a chance to meet at Coltsford Mill Fishery for our first outing of 2022.
When we arrived at the venue at 8am the weather was glorious (sunny and warm) and this persisted throughout the day. Also, Coltsford was looking beautifully manicured with perfect grass and easy to reach swims. There was a good turnout (11 of us) and we were soon having a good catch up before getting on with the task in hand – fishing.
Our initial worry was that on days like these would we catch any fish, as the fish notoriously tend to prefer nasty windy cold weather? However, we all caught one or more fish, all of a good size and some interesting variations of trout hybrids.
Neil, the manager, kindly let us have the use of the patio behind the bar for us to get together for our packed lunches and we had to force ourselves to leave this comfort to do a bit more fishing.
More fish were caught in the afternoon and we finally parted company, having had a great day, looking forward to and talking about the next outing at Frensham ponds in Surrey.
