I was fishing away when I hear a load of quacking......

I turn round and see a duck flying through the air with a length of line, float and topkit below it.

After a few laps of the pool she landing and ditched his top it in the island in the middle of the pool

He said she walked into while she was trying to steal some of his tackle

The duck was unharmed, maybe a bit stronger after carrying the extra luggage whilst flying :D

The at the end of the match Drynet had to go and get the owners boat to retrieve his top kit and spent 10 minutes going in circles in the boat

No Ducks were harmed in the making of this epic story

We are there next Sunday again but with 17 on the Swallow pool.
Should be fun

He had added some pegs and dug the existing pegs out but you cannot get 2 keepnets in the hole that he has dug out.
Hopefully it will be a kinder day weather wise and the fish will want to play.
I might have time to get the camera out too this time
