FLY FISHERS CLUB: The first fishing event of 2018 was at Brick Farm Lakes, back in February, when there was a very good turn-out of members to contest two new trophies put up by new Chairman Mike Carden, the Frost King Cup for the gents and the Snow Queen Shield for the ladies, the names of the trophies being quite apt, as although it was dry, with a bright blue sky and full sunshine, a bitingly cold north east wind made it decidedly uncomfortable and it was nice to be able to retreat to the comfort of the lodge for a warm up, a hot drink and a mid-morning bacon butty. A total of 37 fish were caught, with no less than 10 of the 15 hardy males fishing achieving their three-fish limit, top angler on the day proving to be Nick Spicer with a weight of 7lb 9oz, his catch including a fine brown trout of 3lb 13oz, the only brown and biggest fish of the day. Sadly the three ladies present didn’t fare quite so well, with just Mary Carden and Caroline Cutmore only managing a solitary fish each, Mary winning the trophy, her fish of 1lb 14oz being the larger. Caroline however shared the prize for the smallest fish in a four-way tie with David Carden, John Harratt and John Whitlock, all with fish of 1lb 6oz.
