| headlands fishery, wellow me, fisherdan and pete (a m8 from work) head to headlands fishery for a bit of fluff chucking , was very nice day with a slight breeze. i started by practicing my very bad casting and with a bit of help from the lake owner i eventualy got a resonable cast going and started to fish after couple of hours. big thank you to john the lake owner  dan and pete started fishing staight away and had 3-4 in the bag b4 i even started . and after a hour or so i had my first 1 in the bag around 3lb, not long after i had another one but much smaller so i returned it to grow bit bigger, the very next cast i had another one of 2 1/2lb. during this time dan had had 7 trout around 2-3lb(god that boy is good at fluff chucking)  and pete had 4 of the same sort of size, so thay went for a cuppa and went to the pike lake, i carried on for 1 more trout which after i changed my fly to a silver thing with black head and red tail(dont know the names yet) i got on the first cast. i then head for a cuppa and then on to the pike lake, pete and dan had no luck so i head over to the oppisit end of the lake by some reeds and trees and started to chuck a big fly around and had a few knocks but no takes, as i looked over the other side of the lake i saw dans rod hoop over then spring back right under his feet, he said it was a pike of around 6lb ish and was a little dissapointed, but he came closest , at 2 pm we packed up and head home as i had other comitments but i could have easly stayed a lot longer and the lakes are very pritty and every one was realy freindly. so great day, great company and great fun. i hope to go there again and try to conquer a pike soon, so watch out pike hears a piccy of 1 rainbow trout i had  cheers john __________________ http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...xt80382370.gif     |

, nice 1 john, i know the place fairly well as my old firm used to get called in to stock the lakes occasionally, we also helped with some electro fishing dureing the drought years in the late 80's to remove unwanted species or save fish from the stream that was drying up .its been a few years now since i've been down there and the lakes should have matured nicely to give pleasant surroundings to this peaceful spot. __________________ 2008, sessions..16,,total blanks..2, species,..13. its easier for a man to destroy the light within himself than to defeat the darkness all around him. |
