Although a coarse angler for over 30 years until giving in to gardening and plants, I always took a great interest in fly fishing, particularly as I used the fly to catch many species of coarse fish from the Derwent, Amber, Dove, Trent and numerous stillwaters. Indispensable blog that I enjoy reading. Link below is to an absolute monster Trout in the Wye at Bakewell taken a couple of days ago. My guess this fish is pushing double figures. Never seen a Trout of this size in any river before. <br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/62288089@N05/6086572486/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725820531987570568.post-16380792397564605042011-08-28T23:33:19.407+01:002011-08-28T23:33:19.407+01:00Hope I can get a rainbow like that?

They are generally quite a decent size, sharp edged and strong, which partly explains the astonishing power they show when hooked. It is never a foregone conclusion that the angler will win until the wild rainbow trout is actually in the net.<br /><br />Regular RodRegular Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04412350204961563932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725820531987570568.post-73605595822675543112011-08-28T14:17:49.548+01:002011-08-28T14:17:49.548+01:00Tail on the rainbow!?!Tail on the rainbow!?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725820531987570568.post-38707938255515482262011-08-28T01:39:04.004+01:002011-08-28T01:39:04.004+01:00Great observations of a varied and prolific entomo...Great observations of a varied and prolific entomological smorgasbord and glorious and fastidious fish. Perhaps the "Indispensable" is the river and those who conserve it, including those who capture the cycle of the seasons for the rest of us.<br /><br />La_jolla1la_jolla1http://www.flyforums.co.uk/members/la_jolla1.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
