Saturday 24 September, could not have been better as 18 children from Portchester Community School descended on Meon Springs Trout Fishery (East Meon). Arrange by members of the John Lewis Partnership Fly Fishing Club and in conjunction with That Fly, the day exceeded all expectations.
donated massively to the event. Not forgetting the Meon Spring team who's help and commitment completes a truly excellent occasion. Finally a huge thanks to all the children , teaching staff , mum's and dad's and JLP volunteers who work so hard making the day the success it is.

Some fine weather and terrific support by all helping ensured the fantastic day for the children. (Below Matthew Andrews, working on his retrieve, and showing the way to the net. Matthew could only fish the morning but made the most of his time with a fine brace of Rainbow trout).
The day is made possible by some super support from both JLP Fly Fishing and incredible involvement from Chris Read (ex Partner) who's charity 'Smile for a Child' ( www.asmileforachild.org )

It was an unforgettable day and we truly appreciated everyone's contribution to make Matthew's first fly fishing experience a truly memorable one :) Roll on next year!
Well done Matthew. Uncle Andy is very jealous!
