April 1st at Rutland

It was no April fool when Rutland opened this year. The weather wasn't too kind but after a difficult first hour near Normanton Church i met up with Nick Preston and Neil Dodds and we headed for the Peninsula. We arrived near Armley Wood and within a few casts I had a fish on. Using a Pitsford Pea on the point and a Diawl Bach on the dropper I had a busy hour or so landing 8 fish all on the Pitsford Pea. I moved up and down the bank a bit and after 3 hours I had 13 in total. Nick had managed five and Neil, struggling with tennis elbow, had 3. A great start to the Rutland Season!
