Arnfield Xmas Session

What a Great day had by all the nomads with five double figure bows and browns pulled out over the course of the day, to various patterns.

This Venue just keeps on producing great quality trout with the average size of fish today well over 4lb, with the majority of fish caught between 6-7lbs!!!
Member John burrow had smashed two personal records today, with his largest brown and largest rainbow caught within the space of a hour!
The brown trout weighing in at 14lb 6oz! His largest and the clubs largest brown caught this season.

Far too much to put on a blog without me boring you all, but what a excellent day, check out a few exclusive photos.
Including the brown trout concerned and a stunning view of the sun setting over the dam wall at Arnfield.

All in all if you havent been to this venue, you must make a visit soon, the trout are fighting fit and in excellent condition.

Every single nomad came away with a big smile on their face after a cold but rewarding days fishing, and that is what North West Nomads is all about! Friends & fishing.

Raygill Session 1st December

We arrived at the fishery before the sun rose, at least a couple of members did anyway!
The wind was non existent, the rain was holding off so far, it looked to be a stunning day for fly fishing.

On arrival at the lodge we were warmly greeted by the owner and the fishery bailiff. Explained in detail on what fly worked and where the fish were holding up. So we headed out together towards the larger quarry lodge.
We got to the bank and were warmly greeted by a large flock of ducks!
Trout moving initally all over the surface first thing, and slowly the rises died off as the time got closer to midday, but this didnt effect our catch rate.

After 6+ hours of fishing we all came away happy with the number of fish caught and the quality of the venue itself.
All i can say, if youve never fished Raygill before, you  must pay them a visit!
Crystal clear blue tinged water, with trout willing to take a dry even at this time of the year!

Most fish caught was awarded to Oliver Avis (England Youth Fly Fishing ace) with 20+ fish caught over the course of the day. Most successful pattern, was, of course, various colored snake patterns. The most successful colour had to be Olive & pink did well also!

Biggest fish awarded to fellow nomad, Steve Elliott, with a whopping brown over 7lb. (see photo below).

 

Look at lose black markings! stunning trout!, with a  paddle for a tail!!

Our next session as a club is on the 22nd of December, at Arnfield Reservoir, this will be our last session of the season. Im sure this venue will not disappointed, with large fish caught on every nomad outing at Arnfield! Mostly by member Steve Elliott (pictured above, with yet another lump!)

Tightlines,
