When we arrived it was a beautiful spring morning with not a ripple on the water.
There was no sign of any body else and we thought Terry, Bob and myself were the only ones fishing.
Very soon a ripple got up and we thought we would be in with a chance.
Terry was into fish almost immediately but it was a couple of hours before Bob and I got one.
Terry went off walkabout and got fish at every move it seemed but Bob and I simply got a few pulls that didn't materialise.
Late
on Bob had one on, but the hook snapped and it was off. Soon after he
had another good take and this time he landed a very nice Rainbow.
When we packed up at 4pm the weather had changed and ominous dark clouds were coming in.
Arriving
back at the fishing lodge, where there were scales for weighing fish,
we found that Graham Harris and John Beer had been fishing on the other
side of the reservoir. As neither of them is as distictive as good old
Marcus, who had missed this week for some reason, we didn't
recognise them whilst they were fishing.
They had not had a great day at all, with no takes until the last half hour or so.
John had had a nice couple of Rainbows, but Graham, like myself, had only caught the one.
The weather, surprisingly, had not lived up to the weatherman's promiise of gale force winds and heavy showers!
It
was spring like, all day, with just enough wind to cause a ripple to
hide us from the fish, but they were only interested really in Terry.
'Til we meet again,

Today I decided to catch something before I took any more pictures!!!
This was my first fish (&, incidently, my last)
It was in tip top condition and fought very well.

Bob did everything to catch one but they were coming short today.
He had a good few pulls but it was a long time before he caught his first fish!

Bob weighed-in 2 nice fish.
His face say's it all! He knew with these he would get 2nd place'

Terry's Bag was rather a pleasant shade of yellow.......

....But it did contain 5 Rainbows that weighed in at exactly 9 Lbs ~ to give him another win!!.

Not often do you see me weighing in ~ Well I do take the pictures.

I was very proud!
And I still reckon I look better than the fish.
