Rycroft Fisheries, Derby

Well what a great start to our few days away here in beautiful Derbyshire visiting my two stepsons, Daniel & Jaymie.

Yesterday we went fishing at Rycroft fishery after spending a visit in the morning to Carp Scene in Somercotes. 

My new easy mat for safely in hooking big fish

The weather was great and we had an afternoon of tension & fun with several good catches 

My swim set up ready.

I caught 12 fish plus this beauty who led me a merry dance. He weighed in at 8.5 pounds. I still need to reach double figures

Gerry on the other hand caught this amazing fish on light tackle on his pole

And who said ladies can not be glamorous when fishing?
