The OMFFC formed in January 2023 continues to add to its membership base. The link between fly fishing and cricket this year, has created new friendships, especially during the home games of The Cricketer Cup. Members have enjoyed watching the cricket and the chance to discuss fishing on various waters.
The club has several fixtures lined up for later this year and OMs wishing to join and fish are most welcome:
Wednesday 4th September: Blagdon Reservoir (just south of Bristol). Chris Price (7.73-78) will take the lead.
Monday 16th/ Tuesday 17th September: Peak District to fish The River Derwent near Bakewell. This will be organised by Bill Bowler (2.75-80).
Mike Saunders (5.70-74) and Andy Allen (8.97-02) will also join Tony Butler (5.66-71) on The Usk downstream from Brecon to accept the challenge that the Usk trout provide.
For further information about the OM Fly-Fishing Club, please contact Club Secretary, Robert Leachman (7.66-71).
Nigel Draffan (1.64-69) is pictured here on The Salisbury and District Angling Club waters successfully using his landing net.
