trout fishing

[danman 27]

 

The water doesnt hold specimen roach... trust me if i (or even you the you the best man in the world) tried to fish it in the day with a rod and line, i would be caught within 30 seconds, im thinking about night fishing it now with a glow in the dark float tip, spraying a few maggots with a bunch on the hook or a big juicy worm

 

You can see a star light from about 50 yards or more, well funny when you shine a lamp in their faces and watching them fall over running into things dropping all their stuff. And how do you know it doesn't hold specimen fish if you can't fish it?

 

 

exactly leegreen well said pal. I just couldnt even be arsed answering the point that he knew there was none in!!!!

what do you think i just guessed that it didnt idiot, some people are aloud to fish it but im not, it only holds pike and trout

 

 

And i'm an idiot because "you guessed" that there were no roach in it.......

 

Can you come over to a forest mate, and have a look at it.. Then guess if there are any deer in it or not....

 

I wonder if there are an crusian in this water......ermmmmm, at a guess, "no"..

i was being sarcastic, i know becuase like i said some people are aloud to fish it, btw if you need anymore signs reading just give me a shout

I love the way folk try and take the moral high ground on here. Instead of jumping down the guys throat, why not explain why such methods as a dead line aren't acceptable? As for people condemning poaching this is where folk seem to think the word poaching means cruelty and using outlawed engines as a means of catching fish. Yes, gang poachers might use otter boards and nets to catch large quantities but thats because they only have a limited time to catch as many as they can, what would you use? Not all poachers are "professional" and aren't all trying to make a living from it. If you have fished a brook, pond, lake, loch or river throughout your life without first, asking permission to be there then your likely to have been poaching.

 

It doesn't even stop there, the method you fish can deem you as a poacher... If your wading and shuffle your feet for instance. if you use a worm in a fly only river but in the same river only a mile down the road its perfectly legal to do so. I used to do a lot of boarding on large lochs in Scotland to catch wild brown trout. Gasps of horror from the fly fisherman. It doesn't make it cruel for the fish but like everything that actually catches fish, it is outlawed. Fair does, I also like using a similiar technic called the bubble float and fly. Something else which is outlawed because it catches fish. I was pleased to read an article from a guilly in Ireland who said this was his preferred method of catching salmon. I tend to agree with him. It's the most natural way a fly can be replicated and the takes are breath taking. I also like fly fishing the conventional way but I don't have my head up my arse and can see the merits of different methods.

 

Lets face it, fly fishing with intermediate and even floating lines is nothing more than lure fishing by a different name. It doesn't replicate a fly in the true sense of the word. All it replicates is something getting dragged through the water to attract a fish which someone has named a fly. So, for a fly fisherman to look down his nose at someone using lures is pathetic in my view. Stick to what you do and enjoy what you do and f**k the rest.

i dont think everyone were condoning poaching.. It was his lack of knowledge on how h was going to do it... Your descriptions to make the poaching rigs are spot on... You obviously know how to do it, why , when and where. Thats the real poaching...

 

What is your best poached fish...?

 

you mentioned sea trout, you had anything big? Love them, they are a secretive fish...

I caught a cracking sea trout from a sea loch, caught it on a lump of mackerel and a size 3/0... never had scales but it must have been close to 9lbs. Sea trout to me are the cream of the crop. Takes a special type of person to go after them in the real sense of the word as you find out trying to fish in total darkness.

Dying prawns purple was the dogs bollocks. That was in the days when the only lures you really got were either tobys, meps and devon minnows. Still good lures but the flying condom has to be the lure of choice now, which to be fair, kind of replicates the old prawn lures.

i loved reading your post 3turns, it certainly brings back memories when i lived in scotland, poaching the broonies with the otter board, it was a very productive method, another favourite method was the bubble and fly, most of the waters i fished back then were water board owned and very rarely if ever were they policed, i wonder if any of these methods are used very often these days, cheers......john
