bell 3,609 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 What fly are you using ............and what are those lines on the flanks of the fish made with Quote Link to post
fresh earth 47 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I was using a mixture of wet fly's and a hare's lug . No idea she was marked when i brung her in shere was gash's on one side and simular on the oposite but more like a hole at the top and the bottom i think a pike must have had a go at it as the loch i were fishing has some serious pike in it i had 2 in the one day over 20lb about 5 years ago and bigger have been taken out and put back. The place was stocked twice in last 3 weeks second time with 50 between 5 and 15lb so i presume it was one of these fish and the reason she didnt go back was she was struggling after i got her in. Dont know what the shake of the head is for because i have no clue on what sort of method would cause a gash like that all i have ever used is fly spinner or bait . Quote Link to post
fresh earth 47 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Got cut of there , My mate has just taken over the fishery hence i get to fish it whenever i please and as i say i would usualy put anything over 5lb back in but she had little left in the tank. She must have been attacked before i caught her though as she surfaced straight away and if something had a go at her i would have seen it. As i say there are alot of large pike in the water and the big ones take jack pike over a lb as a dead bait i fished it for pike for years catching over 30 jacks on spinners daily and never getting a hit on makrel polin an lampry etc but some of the jacks i were getting were nailed and half eaten so we started using them as our bait and had good results. Regulary had 3 or 4lb fish scared up one of the smaller fish is actualy missing half its tail fin aswel. Quote Link to post
