Back to Ladybower

I am often asked by clients if working as a fly fishing instructor means I get bored of fishing, in fact the opposite is true.  When you spend day after day watching others fly fishing it makes you even more hungry to get out there and do some fishing. Fishing time is in short supply these days and I tend try make it a social occasion and meet up with fishing friends and colleagues.

So when an opportunity came up I decided on going back to Ladybower to see how the new tenants are getting on. They are doing a fantastic job and have put a huge amount of effort in to getting things up and running. The welcome is warm and friendly and they have implemented a good stocking programme to try and bring the fish numbers back up. The boats have been revamped and some trees and bushes have been trimmed. The place has a welcome breath of fresh air about it.

So far as the fishing went it was a really tricky day with the wind hitting us from all directions and the fish not knowing what they were doing. I still managed to catch this nice 3 pound rainbow though!
