Christmas 2008

Chistmas came early for me this year. Fitting in a couple of hours fishing between casting lessons at Loynton, I hit into an express train of a rainbow. After a superb fight I landed a mint conditioned fish of 18lbs 12oz, breaking my personal best by just 4oz. The fish took a blood worm pattern, my variation on Auther Coves brilliant red diddy.

I also received some new reading material and a dvd from santa, and will post a review on both in the coming weeks.

Fishing wise, sport remains as per my last post, another 2 twenty pound plus rainbows have been landed at Loynton, while at Watermark take the time to be selective on fish you cast to. Once you locate fish you can limit out very quickly most days currently, with lots of 2-4lb fish. Get past these and there are some very good size residents cruising round!
