A few North West Nomad Members headed up to Wild Rose Caravan park to stay, Friday and Saturday night. With a weekend of BBQs, a few drinks, good mates and of course fishing. Three days at the beautiful Bessy Beck to be precise.
Arriving on Friday around midday after a long drive and some lunch, we decided to hit the trout at Bessy Beck with a few of our flies.
Friday was a perfect day weather wise for catching a few fish, Myself, Jim and Chairman Steve, purchased a 4 hour ticket. With trout on the rise around midday, the prospects looked excellent. Between three of us we managed 14 trout to our nets, which isnt bad going!
Friday afternoon was nicely wrapped up with a few beers at Wild Rose onsite restaurant and pub, including a rather filling and appropriate fish and chip meal!
After we eaten, we were all ready for a good few beers and a sleep, which would start off our weekend away nicely.
Arising around 5:30am, followed by an excellent breakfast prepared by the Nomad Chairman and good friend Steven Moffat. Full and ready to take on our second day fly fishing up at Bessy Beck. Arriving at the fishery car park for around 7:20am, although not officially open until 8am, we couldn't sleep as the big bows and blues were awaiting our flies!
Our morning session, again for four hours, proved very fruitful indeed. Around 20 fish to our nets, with some lumps amongst them. Falling to a range of methods, although a capture was almost garenteed if fished within the top few inches of water. Dries, nymphs, Crunchers & the imitative black and green blob!
Feeling greatly satisfied with our second session of the weekend, we headed back to base camp, for a BBQ and a few drinks or two.....
The Sun came out around 1pm and continued to shine, warm and brightly until 10pm, we enjoyed the sun and talked about the days fishing. Excited for, unfortunately, our last session of the weekend.
Again waking at silly o'clock, we all decided to hit Bessy Beck for the last and final time of our brilliant weekend away.....
Landing some cracking fish over our last day, we decided to reluctantly head home after the bright sunny conditions knocked the fish down.
On the sunday, other nomads were invited up to fish alongside the trio of nomads that were away on a fishing holiday. With Secretary and other Nomads joining us on the day, this made our weekend, so thanks for those that chose to fish Bessy Beck. What an incredible little venue, sure to get a return visit from the entire nomad bunch!
This weekends fishing break, made me thankful for the true friends i have made within the nomads...
