In May, Jon and I were invited by the British Trout Association to spend a day in the sunny Cotswolds learning to fish Trout. Having never fished a day in my life I thought this was a great opportunity and a lovely way to spend a day.We arrived at Lechlade Trout Fishery, met our other fellow fisher folk, had a coffee and welcome biscuit…. then rod in hand walked towards a huge pond full to the brim with Trout.It’s a bit more complicated than just tossing a rod and line into the water, there is a bit of flicking, drawing of the line, a good eye to spot the trout…and patience. Not my strongest quality - but definitely Jons. Who caught four…. I managed to land three! 

But that was in the easy pond….after lunch we went to the large lake where our quarry was a little harder to net!We were in the expert hands of Tim from Lechlade Fishery and learnt so much from Oliver, the CEO of the British Trout Association.
