Thursday's practice......
Above: Bloso lake again... this really was a magnificent venue.
Above: Finland's Tero Isokorpi netted this superb bag of 10 Bloso bream for between 10-14 kilos. Unfortunately Tero couldn't repeat the catch at the weekend and finished over halfway down the field.
Top & above: The one thing which struck me about the England squad were their closeness... they were always gathering in various little groups to spend time chatting and supporting each other which bonded and fused the team together throughout the week.
Left & right: Two old campaigners try there hand at a spot of Bloso fishing but will need to put in a bit more practice if they're to trouble the 1st squad for a place!
JR (John Raison) came out for a few days to lend support to son William.
Left: Sean Ashby swings in a smallroach.
Above: You got to take lense cap off first women! Alan waits to be digitised by two fans from the chinese contingent. Below right: 'I hope that's not your private number' - Sandra looks on as Alan writes something down for his beautiful chinese fan.
Below: Alan sports the latest craze to sweep Bloso... a two tier hat which was given to him by his new found friends!
Right: William takes 'time out' to sit behind Stevie and reflect on the day's catch.
Right: Stu Conroy bends into a Bloso bream, unfortunately the bream were conspicuous by their absence for Stu on Sunday!!
Below: Safely in the net, Stu then proceeds to unhook carefully and supply us with a nice bream shots!
