Today I booked beat 17 which is next to all the children's play area at Bamford Recreation sports Ground.  I waded up the beat there were a few fish rising and very quickly caught two brownies
and lost another one. I started about 5.00 and finished at 7.00 as I walked back to my car I started chatting with a guy who used to fish when he was younger on this beat. I really enjoyed my fishing today.
