The Huntingdonshire children's charity, Dreamdrops, has treated several children to a day of fishing fun at Greensands Fishery near Sandy in Bedfordshire.

With the event in its fourth year, many participants are now "seasoned fishing veterans", and Dreamdrops invited new participants from Ukraine to join the fun on April 11.

Greensands is reputed for its sizeable carp, and a "phenomenal" array of fish was caught between six young, eager anglers, which included seven different species.

A spokesperson for Dreamdrops, part of Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Charitable Trust, said: "Dreamdrops were able to invite four Ukraine guests from Huntingdon and St Neots to join the fishing day to give them another experience they could share with their families.

"They had a wonderful day learning the skills of fishing as well as meeting new friends."

Leonie Wager, who was at her second Dreamdrops fishing event, cemented her name in the event's history and partnered with angler Richard Frood, taking a superb 28lb fish, including the first fish of the day.

Youngster Jack Todd also caught a large fish, and even Doctor Becker, from the Dreamdrops Committee, landed a "beautiful, fin-perfect" Mirror Carp with a scale pattern "as unique as a human fingerprint."

Dreamdrops now have their own "armoury" of fishing equipment and tackle that can be loaned out for use between the formal fishing events thanks to funding from the Get Fishing Fund (GFF).

The partnership with the GFF allows money generated from the sale of the Environment Agency Rod Licences to be awarded to good causes, such as Dreamdrops.

Phillipa Wisner, who assisted the children with angling on the day, said: "The Get Fishing Fund has also enabled some of the group to undertake an angling qualification, one of which is Jack, and we fish together.

"It will not be long before he is teaching me!"
