As some of you may know, I do like my fly fishing.
On Good Friday, I went to Lechlade Trout Fisheries in the Cotswolds, about 50 miles from home. Jo-Ann, our friend Bon Kwa from County Durham, and my brother David and his wife, Julie, all went.
We drove through a blizzard on the way there , and, when we arrived, the wind was howling across the water at the 22 acre Bushleaze Lake and was so strong it was breaking bits off the oak trees at the lake.
The casting was difficult to say the least but we persevered and, when the wind eased off, managed well.
We had great fun and came away with twelve trout between us with an average weight of 3 1/2 pounds per fish.
Have a look at the fishery web site, and, if you fly fish for trout, it's worth paying a visit.
