By Penina Pondhopper The recent rains have swelled the waters of the Brandywine,
creating a good fast stream; excellent conditions for the salmon making
their way back down from the lake at the head of the Brandywine. Now’s
your chance to land yourself a fine supper and perhaps walk off with the
Annual Brandywine Salmon Trophy, currently held by Mister Potty, with a
40 pounder he caught two years ago! Usual
competition rules apply. This year the trout are also fair game, so we
will have a separate award for the heaviest salmon and the first Golden
Trout. In addition there will be a prize for the most fish caught
overall (with the usual penalties for weeds and other junk). Never
caught a salmon? Don’t worry! There will be a parallel competition for
you, where we will be counting the number of Shire fish caught, and a
prize for the biggest Barbel. So time to wax your lines, polish your
rods and select the biggest juiciest worms from your garden! Meet at
Brockenborings, by the Windmill at seven and a half bells ((7:30PM UK
time)) on Saturday 5th March. We shall enjoy a brisk walk over the
Greenfields to the fishing location, so make sure you arrive on time in
Brockenborings! No need to register, just turn up and talk to me on the
day. Security note: The Northern Greenfields
are home to a few bothersome pests, but we shall be on hand to make sure
you can fish in safety. Ponso pulls a whopping salmon from the muddy waters of the Brandywine What: Third Annual Salmon Run Where: Brockenborings, gather by the windmill When: Saturday March 5th, 7:30pm ((UK, 2:30pm servertime)) |
