Fishermans Friend: Scottish Disabled Team Fly Fishing Fundraiser At Bangour

I love going to these events,its so enjoyable to meet familiar faces who are always happy to meet & participate in a great days fishing,great Craic,& not least to show support for the SDFFA Teams International in June at Eyebrook.

Peg 18 draw,no 3 bad I thinks,soon into a fish on a Henrik Larson timed a 9:39 am 9 mins for my 1st fish of the day a new PB,I missed another 4 and lost 2 on my 1st peg,can't complain never had that ammount of activity for a long time.

There's plenty of early action and the guys are picking up fish all over,Carl Nixon is doing well with the Yellow Dancer,allegedly,but through the day 3 guys had sussed the techniques and rattled up nearly 30 between them.

All in all it's been a great day with a super lunch of crackin pies & cakes "Stevie who ate awe the pies",
