Ellerdine Session - 3/5/2015

This venue always provides great sport for us nomads, its heavily stocked, and all 4 lakes can be covered in one day. Ideally located just 15 minutes from any major roads, yet still in complete country like surroundings....
Quiet and peaceful, with a stunningly beautiful lodge, providing FREE tea and coffee facilities as well as a gratis piece of cake!

Ellerdine is one of England's top still waters, without a doubt. The fishing is second to non, with all fish being fully finned and bred in top fish farm facilities within the UK. The Hospitality of the owners and bailiff are impeccable, non of which i have seen for a long long time.
Back in the day, all anglers were looked after at various venues across the UK, now its more along the lines of "Money please, and few tactic tips and that's it" if all fisheries, treated their anglers in the same manner that ellerdine does, their banks and boats would be full of fluff flinging trout hunters, all week round.

Free tea and coffee, plenty of fish, well maintained, reasonably priced tickets. Its not rocket science folks! but when done as a combination and correctly, can make a fishery extremely successful.

Anyways, on to the fishing, ALL nomads latched onto trout. With Jim McGinley and secretary Steven Elliott leading the way, with 13+ fish a piece. Although while i have this opportunity i would just like to point out that our amazing Online coordinator for 2015, Nathan Jones, landed a superb specimen around 8 1/2lb to a olive snake. (cough cough** Awesome skills!)

All Nomads had a top day, and here's to our next return!!
Get yourselves up to ellerdine, it was voted one of the best fisheries in the UK for a reason.

Raygill Session 26/4/15

Raygill has been visited many a time by the North West Nomads Fly fishing club UK over the last few seasons, each time the fishery has produced the goods.
        This visit was no different with every nomad latching onto some fully finned specimens. Amoungst the six nomads that threw some fluff about on the day, personal bests were smashed. Both Paul Kuczera and Paul Johnson had a day to remember, securing lumps.
        This crystal clear deep quarry holds some specimen trout and pike, on the day we were after the large bows and browns that inhabit this stunning fishery.

A few photos kindly donated by the anglers on the day, thanks gents for taking the time to email them to me.

Tightlines Fellow Nomads & Friends....

Barnsfold Session April 2015

Kindly sent to me from Club Chairman - Steven Moffat

"

Despite the weather forecast four hardened soles decided to brave the elements and fly the flag of the North West Nomads at Barnsfold fishery today .
These four soles who after today’s weather should all have Schools named after them were Jim McGinley, John Burrow ,Mark Clayton and Steve Moffat .
We all arrived for a 8.00am start and as he wind was blowing towards the main building we headed off along the walkway with Mark taking position half way up and myself, Jim and John starting with the wind on our backs.
Within a couple of casts both Jim and John were into fish , John on a buzzer and Jim on a Green Snake.
Although we were all battered by heavy rain and Artic conditions we all persevered and after 5 fish and a couple of snapped lines a break was called for back at the cabin .
A massive thanks to Jim McGinley or should I say Bear Grills managing to get the fire started out of some bark,tops of waste bags and some Yak Hair !! Soon the log burner was working its magic warming us up and drying us off with steam everywhere ( see the pics ) it soon looked like a Chinese laundry. As the rain was really heavy at this stage we elected to have an early lunch waiting for the Rain to stop. Dried out fed and watered we ventured out again assuming positions at the back of the lake.
No sooner had we got a few casts in the wind really took hold gusting to over 50 MPH , at this stage It was too much for me and becoming dangerous so Myself and Jim decided to call it a day, however, both Mark and John managed to find a more sheltered spot and tucked in at the bottom end of the lake with a truly concerted effort to catch more fish.( proper men )
I have to say, even in these conditions, we all had a great laugh and were unanimous in the opinion that we’d rather be out there having a go than stuck in the house wondering what if."
