I love brown trout even a small one is more rewarding than any stockie in my opinion. I remember my first brownie, I was about 13 and my old man took me and my brothers fly fishing up near the border between Scotland and England (possibly near Coldstream) it was only about 3/4 of a pound but a memorable day. Can't remember my first ever fish because my dad would take me on the canals and also sea fishing from a very young age.
Were you using a fly or other techniques?
