Fishing for Forces gets off to a great start this season with some 26 services personnel visiting the waters edge on Wednesday June 6. on the beautiful banks of Avon Springs.
Blessed with some fine weather spirits were high as fishermen and women prepared for the day ahead.
Following introductions by Bill Howell ( Founder of FFF) and a hearty breakfast , provided buy an incredible Avon Springs Trout Fishery team, Britain's finest were ready for action. Following a brief demonstration and safety talk the group paired up with the ever supportive mentors who kindly provide the vital assistance for the event.
To say the services are a competitive bunch would be an understatement, as yells of joy echo out with the first fish being landed seconds after the line first hit the water. But all were soon to realise the real benefit of the day as individuals relaxed and enjoyed a peaceful and fulfilling experience that is fly fishing.
By lunch time most had a fish or two, including complete beginner Capt Matthews who's tally of fish earned him the prize of heaviest bag....
