The prettiest bag of fish, char none!

The Poole and Wimborne Fly Fishers Headed way out west to Sutton Bingham Reservoir.

Well Yeovil to be exact!

This reservoir is owned and stocked by Wessex Water and is always a challenge, even to the most expert of anglers. Look at this haul from Steve Hemingway! Five beautiful Sparctic Char.

These are a cross species of Brook Trout and Arctic Char and among the most beautiful game fish with a myriad colours and shades.

With several anglers failing to catch, Steve’s haul of five fish is all the more impressive.

With May in full flow, fish were falling to black patterns. Dry flies also did well where lures failed to produce. Here he is with his bag of 10lbs 5 ozs.

Winners spot went to an impressive haul of almost 12 lbs from Gary Austin.

Well done Gary!
