Girls Weekend - Spring 2019

18/11/2019

1 Comment

 
​We’ve just finished our latest Girls Weekend at Millbrook. The weather was cool to cold and cloudy, but the battering winds and rain of recent weeks finally eased off. The duns came out to play both days, providing some excellent dry fly fishing; the evening midge fishing was great too. In between, the girls fished up some beauties pulling wets, and dined like royalty après fishing!  
 
A feature of this weekend (as with the last few months) was the number of really big trout. Val and Brenda each caught 8 pounders (Brenda’s a PB and Val’s a technical PB) and there were several others landed in the 5 pound plus range. Strangely, there were fewer middle-sized fish in the 2-4lb range caught, although the littlies were abundant and it’s great to see some of this year’s class already pushing the 1 pound mark. (Guests think it’s very funny when we guides get all excited about these fat youngsters, but it’s always good to know next year’s trout are doing well!)   
 
All up, a really nice weekend. Special congratulations to Erynn for breaking her 10 year ‘trout drought’ with a 6 pounder on the Shaving Brush. It was absolutely remarkable that she struck and then played that fish - which was exceptionally strong – like master. Many a more experienced angler would have lost that big buck rainbow. Obviously born to fish 😊!

What a great way to spend weekend! I remember how my girl friends actually do some activities as well that will make our relationship stronger. I must say that I missed having these kinds of moments with my friends. I wish we are still living on the same place so we can still do the activities we used to do before. Well, I know that one of these days, we will be able to do all of them again once everything goes back to normal. Let us all pray that everything will be fine again.
