Who caught four…. I managed to land three!&nbsp;</strong></h3><p><br></p><h3><strong>But that was in the easy pond….after lunch we went to the large lake where our quarry was a little harder to net!</strong></h3><h3><br></h3><h3><strong>We were in the expert hands of Tim from Lechlade Fishery and learnt so much from Oliver, the CEO of the British Trout Association.</strong></h3><p><br></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Jon Hackett and Lotte Duncan"}
