| 1st Prize, Ben collects a complete outfit from the club chairman. |
As the youngsters take on their parents it was fish all round.
Fishing action was hot as temperatures soared in the Meon Valley, (Saturday 20 July).... Fishing took place a Meon Springs, this being our the first event following Keith Poulton's departure for a well deserved retirement, (all the best Keith). The new team did him proud as they catered and assisted though out the day. Following an introduction and safety briefing Dads and children set off with their mentors for the day.  |

With the youngsters setting the pace, it was not long before the first fish came to the bank. Dad's did try to keep up but the order of the day saw some great fish to 4lb being landed. Top spots went to Ben Sizer 15, for the boys with Rebecca Bland 10, showing girl power..
Finally Dad of the day and first time fly fisher, Basil Sheppard, took the adult honours with as super rainbow in prime condition.
Finally a huge thank you goes to all the supporters who made the day possible.
