A couple of us turned up at Meon Springs (it was close and I enjoy fishing there) to have a fish and landed my first trout of the new year on my new Sonik rod to a Partridge and Orange by noon on 1-1-11 I finished with a three fish bag of 2 1/4 lbs, 5 1/4 lbs and 6 1/2 lbs for a total weight of 14lbs. Second two fish came to a heavy damsel pattern fished slow. That gets 2011 off to a cracking start... |
