North West Nomads - AGM (annual general meeting) 2015

North West Nomad Fly Fishing Club UK


Lots discussed including re-appointing our committee, of which everyone had their say and vote. Its great to see such a committed group, we had an expansion of members back in mid 2014, with 
seven or eight friends joining us, with the committed members remaining by us as we chose to enter into fly fishing competitions as a club and more. However after the meeting with the majority of members present, we have come to the conclusion that although a good percentage of us wish to enter competitions, not all of us wish to do so. So competitions although great fun, will be more of a side line this year gents and ladies. Concentrating on FUN, FRIENDS & FISHING. Which is the basis of the original starting of the club, which came about just over a year ago.

Newly appointed Committee members consist of the following:

Chairman 2015 - Mr Steven Moffat
Secretary 2014/15 - Mr Steven Elliot
Treasurer 2014/15 - Mr Jim McGinley

Full list of committee members will shortly be on our website after a fully fledged revamp. A modern look website update, simple and easy to navigate, less clutter and more info & news!!

Thanks to all those that attended the AGM 2015, our first AGM since starting up a season ago. The club has come on in leaps and bounds and continues to grow, not only in size, but with members becoming excellent friends, both in and out of the club.

2014 has been an excellent year, with the main aim of our club coming back into focus.

NW NOMADS 
Fun, Friends & fly fishing!

Lets make this year, 2015 a great year, plenty to organise and look forward too.
See you all on the 25th Jan which will  be our next session date.



Tightlines,
Nathan Jones

Barnsfold Trout Fishery - Unofficial session

 Barnsfold Trout Fishery

 - Unofficial session -


First of all i would like to wish all nomad friends and members a very happy new year!
All the best and tightlines from North West Nomads Fly Fishing Club UK.

We met at the waterside for 9:00am, with a few of us meeting at Guys Court for a cracking all you can eat breakfast! - for around £6.00 you can stuff your face with a three of even five course breakfast! Which will keep you going all day chucking fluff....

See photo, and also do pop in and try their excellent breakfast....
A Club recommendation...

Anyway on to the fishing, a flat calm Barnsfold trout fishery welcomed the Nomads, never before have i personally seen a flat calm barnsfold! - so tackling up we discussed tactics, and a few secret patterns made onto our leader.

Top rod when i left the water, was fellow nomad Jim McGinley with 4 bows, including a cracker around 5lb. Caught to various patterns, but the good old olive snake did well on the day, landing a few nice chunky bows and browns.
[still waiting on photos! - Cough cough* hint hint]


Tightlines chaps and ladies!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
