Wednesday 10th February 2016 - Viaduct Lodge Lake

17 of F for Fish Company of Dad's Army turned out for their mid week drill.   Rods and poles inspected, a quick check for barbless hooks, and finally a look into ammo pouches, making sure no pellets were available. Right, kit inspected its ready for the draw.   Steve the Badger has selected the pegs, and we knew we would be nice and cosy with only two pegs not in use.   I drew peg 61 sandwiched between Tonto and Ninja Eric, so plenty of community singing and fun to be had, especially as opposite Tonto is brother Martin.

We had an extra half and hour fishing as the days are growing longer, so we fished 10-00 till 3-30.  At the all in there were rumblings of poachers on the lake taking fish from other swims. 

Tonto has peaked early again, but is at a long distance war with his brother, who claimed Tonto was using his ground bait.

My day started slowly, fishing into the wind, I amased a grand total of 3lbs 1ozs of silvers, but I was still reasonably happy.

At the finish Matt, son of Badger, and Colin made a quick good job of the weigh in.   The Welsh Mercenery Brian won by a distance, with Danny coming in second.   Bolton George "I'm not moaning" won the silvers plus my £1, John Barker coming in second.

A very good day enjoyed by all.  So pack up gear and back to barracks where envelopes were passed to the very LUCKY ones.   We then talked about the next batle, the war is never won!!!  

On Sunday next we visit Trinity, and on Wednesday its Emeralds.

                      Look forward to your company.
