Weather: The team of regulars arrived in camp to wall to wall sunshine which persisted all through Sunday. Ideal fishing conditions these were not but did not dampen resolve.



Manager's comments: After the usual early dinner on arrival, the party set about the task with enthusiasm and landed 4 on the first evening with another 3 lost. John H and Colin W had a 20lber and 21lber respectively from Pump. The sunshine on Sunday did not stop the party getting stuck in with high expectations. Every beat produced at least a fish which was encouraging. Pete W and  Colin C decided to persevere on the main draw at Poachers for much of the day and landed 3 fish weighing 20lbs, 22lbs and 28lbs. Quite some avererage! All in all a great start to the week and much to look forward to.
