Mike Roden Memorial Competition 2014
We had a cold frosty welcome, on the morning of the first hosted British Heart Foundation fly fishing competition, officially titled "Mike Roden Memorial Shield", which will be taking place every year.
However everyone who said they were to attend, did so! - which showed grit determination and a great show of support for Mike Rodens life and what he did for the fly fishing community, and equally as important. The British Heart Foundation.
All proceeds were donated to this charity, and the exact figures are held with our secretary, we estimate to have raised over £300 which is great!! It cost £25.00 for competitors, which included a one fish ticket provided by our venue, Curleys Trout Fishery, Horwich. Curleys trout fishery was the base for Mike Roden when he taught many folks how to cast a fly line, as well as managing the fishery. He will be truly missed by his fishing buddies, and fellow anglers.
In his Honor, you will now find a stunning timber bench at Curleys Trout Fishery, donated by North West Nomads Fly Fishing Club UK.
On to the fishing! - An incredibly difficult day, extremely cold, frosty and snowing at brief periods of the day. Top rod was Jim McGinley, a full list of results will be on our website on the 18/12/14.
See you all next year!!

Ellerdine Trout water
Im going to jump straight into this blog, no beating around the bush!
Stunning venue, fully finned trout present across the entire fishery. All Nomads caught on this trip, with Jim McGinley & Stephen Gildart top rods. A variety of methods worked well, as long as fished within the top few feet of water. From Black lures through to bibio, just teased back across the surface.
Funnily enough! Being that this awesome vastly expanding club is called the North West Nomads, the fly aptly named "nomad" caught alot of fish at this venue, in various colours, from black and green to pink and peach!

As well as providing well priced, and excellent sport at Ellerdine, they also have first A** facilities in the form of an cafe/lodge, with plenty of outside seating with a cracking view out over the first lake. The photo above shows the extent of gear they have on offer, at the fisheries tackle shop, everything a fluff flinger will need and all at less than a few paces.
Overall the Nomad Clan throughly enjoyed one of our best days out this year, a very relaxing venue, what a way to spend a sunday! - WE WILL BE BACK!
Hopefully this time with a few more nomads in toe.
Get your fly fishing gear out and give it a waggle at this top venue!

Dingle Reservoir
DINGLE TROUT FISHERY/RESERVOIR
Jim McGinley was our Host, providing tips and tactics from his local stillwater...
 |
| North West Nomad - Club Treasurer Jim McGinley Hosted todays unofficial outing. |
Top day had by all, with only a few nomads in attendance it was still a success, so thanks to John Burrow for collecting tickets from the local shop, and to Jim McGinley for hosting the event.
Tactics varied from Daddy long legs, olive snake, pink snake (believe it or not!), small black beatles, olive crunchers..... anything fished within the top few feet did well. No need for sinking lines today! although a few intermediates and sub surface lines were out to cut through the heavy wind.
Being that this was only a casual affair, some nomads drifted off around 2pm while the majority were left on the water, so who knows the end catch result! im sure all will be shared on our facebook page this evening after a few swift drinks...
Today's best tactics were travelling light and keep on the move, although those that did remain still for the majority of the day did very well, on a water such as Dingle it often pays to travel light... needing no more than flies, rod, reel, line and net.
Tightlines,

Bank House Fly Fishery 5/10/14
The Nomads visited the great small stillwater that is Bank House, this hasn't taken place today but on the 5th October 2014. Sorry for the delay.
What an incredible little water it is, very few fisheries now-a-days provide a rest area for anglers, bank house not only have a lodge with seating area and heating. They also provide tea and coffee making facilities.
The fishing itself is one of the best in the area for smallwaters, well stocked, beautifully maintained. Crystal clear water, providing the heavens haven't opened and flooded the hodder. Which can colour up the water, but only slightly.
All Nomads Caught trout on the day, including some cracking coloured brownies....

Nomad Individual Competition Results
Well this club has come on in leaps and bounds in only its second season, with thirty members, which has been capped for the time being. Due to re-organising the club so we can continue to be an effective and friendly club into 2015.
I would just like to take this opportunity to Welcome our newest Nomad, Lisa Isles, our first and sure not to be our only lady fly angler. She is at the top of her game currently, doing extremely well and has come to see what the North West Nomads Fly Fishing Club UK is all about...
While i have your attention our newly appointed competition manager, Mr Clive Parry has done us proud, setting up an excellent event at Carsington water! On Sunday 7th September 2014.
A friendly yet competitive atmosphere met us all on our arrival at this stunning water, as did the sun!
Those Nomads new to Carsington were pleasantly surprised at the organisation of the boats, and the very helpful and welcoming staff. So keep up the good work bailiffs! your help at the end of the day from setting up the table to helping us at the final bag weigh in. So big thanks to the bailiffs and staff.
Right, onto the start of our comp, all twelve nomads were sat in their boats by 8:30am, ready for a 9:00am start. 8:50am and the guys are rearing to get going!
Off we go! boats revving away (best engines Ive used for a long time), the majority of us headed off to number three buoy. With a couple of boats heading towards the far bank.
As you can see from the photos, the weather was on our side, for a change!
Most Nomads hooked into a fish or two before 10am, then onwards til midday the sport slowed down, only to pick up again after midday....
Long quick pulls, or roly poly method seemed to work well, as our top rod proved Mr Jon Henderson, any array of blobs, boobies generally lures seemed to work well. With no Specific colour or pattern standing out.
As our day came to a close, for a 2pm finish, the trout woke up! with a good percentage of everyone's bag being caught within the last two hours of our competition. See some great scenic shots below...
Straight to the weigh in...
After an exhausting, yet brilliant day, we were all slightly sun burned and ready for a pint or two!
All Nomads brought along a small gift/prize to add to our prizes, so thanks members for doing so, things from fly boxes to a bottle of Jack Daniels, a grateful donation in the form of a half day sport courtesy of Meadow Trout Fishery. Big thanks to Masterbaits and fishing tackle from Ellesmere port for their donation of a £25 voucher and weighting scales to add to the prize fund.

Nomad Weekender 2014
The Nomad clan headed up to Keswick and Braithwaite, during the last weekend of July for a couple of days fluff flinging....
Our first stop on saturday on our way upto our B&B was an Absolute Gem of a venue, just above derwent water. Ive been asked to keep the fishery name to myself as of the fisheries request.
The water was stunning, when we arrived the sun was shining, with a gentle breeze covering the surface. We booked x3 boats, which were basic, but never the less suited to the calming effect of this fishery.
A few photos of our first venue over the weekend....
Jim McGinley into another at the fishery that shall not be named! (as requested)
After an absolute top days fishing we headed back to the B&B for a shower and a cuppa!
The B&B we used on Saturday night was superb, 5*star quality place, clean modern rooms, all en suite, and the breakfast was spot on!
HERMISTON B&B 4*STAR
http://www.hermiston-keswick.co.uk/
After a lovely, tasty meal at the Royal Oak in braithwaite. Well worth abit of grub here if you get the chance, the prices wernt cheap, but the food was superb!! I can personally recommend the Pork belly!
Anywho after a few hundreds beers later we headed back to Hermiston for a sleepy!
After a rather boozy night we decided to stay local, so we fished Cocklakes fly fishery which is a matter of a few minutes down the road. Which turned out to be a shocker! - we came to the assumtion that only 4 fish were present in the entire lake. (bad weather and climate, plus we were spoilt the day before at a far superior venue.)
Tightlines Nomads,
Lets get another one of these weekends arranged nearer xmas, a christmas meal / weekend away perhaps?

Lovely weather, great fishing...
After a early start for a few members up at Dingle Reservoir this morning, the warm sunny weather stuck with us for most of the day. Not ideal for fishing but what a lovely day to be on the bank...
This was our second visit to Dingle, kindly invited by Derek Walsh the Chairman of Dingle Reservoir Anglers. Only £20 for the full day, take three fish and return a limit of 10 fish including the three to be taken home. A sensible rule, to stock anglers catching 20+ fish, which isn't needed on a day of relaxing fishing.
Stunning fishery, check out the view we had today...

Blue sky, crystal clear water and beautiful surroundings, not a bad day to spend a Sunday!

Arnfield Reservoir visit...
Today a few Nomads visited Arnfield Reservoir, a great venue and correct me if I'm wrong but this was our 5th visit as a club!?Only four out of 30+ members attended today, due to the conditions and it being a bank holiday, never the less the four nomads powered on. Landing 10 fish between them which wasn't a bad haul considering the conditions they were faced with!
Top Rod on the Day was John Burrow, with 4 fish.
Tightlines and until next time (by the way our next session, viewable on our website, linked below, will be at Dingle Reservoir).

Members. Today saw the first of our dual outings. Our Chairman, Nathan Jones lead a group of four down to Staffordshire for our first ever visit to Blithfield Reservoir . The group consisting of Nathan, John Burrow, Olly Avis and Dez Lynam, found this new venue tough going. Windy conditions hampered their progress a little but not enough to claim a blank catch return.
All four got into the fish with Olly bagging 4 and Nathan with 3.
Secretary, Steve Elliott, lead the other group to Raygill over the Yorkshire border. The group of 5 battled against the strong gusting winds to claim fish close to the bank. First trout to the bank was netted by Aaron Carnie - closely followed by Jim McGinley.
By lunchtime all the Nomads had found fish. Aaron and Jim leading the totals with well over 20 fish between them. Steve had 4, Nick Woodward with 2 and new member Paul Kuczera with 1.
The afternoon session belonged to Steve Elliott, with and incredible return of 32 rainbows finishing the day as top rod with a massive total of 36. White Cats Whisker Boobies and White FABS taking the Lions share of the fish in the top three feet of water.
Not to be outdone, Aaron ran Steve a close second, finishing with 31, while Jim bagged-up with 24. Boobies and Blobs also doing the damage Paul managed a further 4 and Nick finished with 2. An amazing total of 98 for the day. Good angling chaps!!!

Fellow Nomads.
This coming Sunday we have the first of our dual venues. Raygill and Blithfield.
Raygill is limiting us to 14 places due to higher than normal water levels - so it advisable to book your spot on the bank.
Nathan is leading the other trip so arrangements are made through him.
Cheers fellas.

A non-too easy day out on the water today at Arnfield Fly Fishery, Derbyshire. The biting North / North-Westerly wind and cold water temperatures, with the occasional drop or two of H20 and hailstone didn't spoil a grand day out. It was good to see that all the Nomads got into a few fish - especially those that are relatively new to the sport.
Top rod today was Mike Frith with 15, closely followed by Aaron Carnie with 11. Most of the fish caught were recently stocked fish averaging 2-3lb; however Aaron bagged a cracking Brownie off the North-East bank and Mr Secretary had a decent Rainbow of approx 5.5lb.
