By Ponso Pondhopper  As the days get longer
and the sap begins to rise, so we see the return of the Salmon from
distant seas! Already some fine specimens have been seen in the waters
of the Brandywine, and one or two have already found themselves served
up for dinner in the Pondhopper burrowhold. But of course, we want to
share the fun with all our neighbours! So, once again, the Shire Angling
Club is proud to present the Annual Brandywine Salmon Run. Last
year the salmon fishing was won by Master Potty, with a fine catch of a
40 lb salmon, a hard record to beat! If you fancy your hand at landing a
whopper, come along to Brockenborings on Saturday 21 March at seven and
a half bells ((19:30 UK time, 3:30 servertime)). We will meet by the old windmill, before
we stroll over the Greenfields to a special location on the banks of the
Brandywine. Never caught a salmon before? No
worries! There will be two competitions, one for the more experienced
anglers who can catch salmon, trout and grayling and a second
competition for those more used to dace, catfish and the like. As usual
there will be grand prizes in both categories. No need to register, just come along on the day. Tight Lines! Ponso Pondhopper Club President |
