| Day of the Golden Ladybird Visited Yew Tree (Sussex) today with the Guild for our annual Charity Day and had Tea and biscuits to begin with , started fishing at 9.00 with a walkoff from the draw to find your positions ,I drew No6 so all the "good" spots had gone when I started so moved to the Dam which meant I was casting into the gentle breeze that was blowing. Tried several Nymphs on the floating line but no luck , there were fish showing on top but they were to far out for me to reach them, looking for inspiration in the fly box when a Humungus fell out so I put it on and had 2 fish in the next 30 minutes, decided to change to the intermidiate line as the fish had gone deeper and had 1 on a Zonker, so as it was only a 4 fish ticket I had a stroll around the lakes to see if anything was moving on top. By the time I got back to the lodge it was lunch time (beef stew and jacket spuds)  Whilst we were having lunch a number of these appeared , have never seen a Golden Ladybird before, I wonder what species it is?  Managed to get the last fish on the second cast after lunch , nothing big but its not a big fish water ,I managed 4th out of 10 and there were only 3ozs between the top 4 places A good day in pleasant surroundings with good friends and grub so any fish were a bonus.  __________________ Species 2011 = 54 2010 = 44 2008 = 29 2007 = 51 2006 = 44 2007 = 37 2004 = 36 LIFETIME = 70     |
