Esthwaite pairs

Today me and John Macintosh fished in the Esthwaite pairs qualifier. We knew from practice that 3-5 fish would be enough. We also knew that we were against some of the best anglers in the country including Trout Master ace Richard Landsbury and past winners Ali Tait and Sandy Roberts.

At 2 o'clock we only had one fish and were starting to worry whether we could snatch a win. We then found pods of fish in Strickland bay were we stayed the rest of the day and managed to get to 5 fish. these came to a variety of methods including drys and pulling.

After reaching the dock it was clear that we had done enough with most pairs getting 1 or 2 fish. It was finally announced that we were the winners with 5 fish and Richard Landsbury and Blythe Palmer in second. It was a god day all round and I cant wait till the final.
