one of the ladies at ladies fishing checking her horse
Yesterday we had another of our social outings, this time with posh frocks and hats to the ladies day at Kelso Races. The weather was fabulous and the race course Voted ‘Britain’s Friendliest Racecourse’ in a Sunday Times survey made all the ladies feel very welcome.
The ladies who attended said “what a nice change some beautiful weather, lets hope it stays like this for the fishing”. We even had some ladies with winning horses, and one of our ladies had her horse racing too.
The next ladies outing is to the Tweed Show on the 1st May we have organised casting demonstrations on the double handed rod from Brett O’Connor and the Chairman of AAPGAI Illtyd Griffiths is going to give a demonstration on the single handed rod and a talk on how he landed a 24lb sea trout in Argentina on a single handed rod. Paul Little one of our coaches is a guest tier at the show and is hoping you will join him to tie a fly or two.
If you would like to come to the Tweed Show please contact Anne or Trish, all our new ladies will be made very welcome. There is all a car sharing from Newcastle, Durham and Hexham for any ladies wishing to come along

Paul Little commented “Partridge hooks was my first choice of hook when I designed the salmon fly, they produce the superior salmon hook”
Partridge has 130 years of heritage and can be credited with the invention of modern fly hook manufacture. It is the only British sport hook manufacturer that has been able to survive and create a name for itself in the twentieth century, with an ever increasing number of fans who, throughout several generations, have been enchanted by the magic of Partridge’s Finest Handmade Fishing Hooks
Mark Hamnett Managing Director says “only too delighted to help ladies fishing raise money for such a worthy charity Casting for Recovery UK & Ireland”
Thank you Mark
