I reckon about a pound and a half. Caught it in the school burn area if know where that is. I usually fish in the early evening after all the power bait chuckers are gone. Today I just had to put up with them.

Very nice fish! Your very lucky! Pitty about the power bait fishers though! Welshy We all have to start somewhere. My first ever days trout fishing was on Hillend with my cousin fishing worms and maggots under a bubble float. I was totally blown away with it all and this fed my hunger to get better at fishing. From there it was a natural progression to fly fishing. These any-method fisheries, whether we like them or not, are often how the youngsters - the future of our great pastime - are introduced to fishing. A vital resource if you ask me. Dougie |
