Dazzam 239 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Managed to get out this afternoon for a couple of hours spinning on one of my local reservoirs. Weather was atrocious but it was nice to get out and managed to land a few brownies. Two of the better ones caught are shown below. Put them all back bar one which i'll have for dinner tomorrow.

Dazzam 239 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Copper and orange vagabond. They look like nothing but can be lethal on their day especially on a very slow retrieve. Quote Link to post

Put up a decent enough fight but i caught one which was around the 1lb and it gave a better account of itself. Hopefully the ones put back in will be given time for their tails to come fully back. Not sure if the tails are chewed up or more to do with wear and tear due to being reared in a small tank/container. Last week it was rainbows on the same reservoir and it was nice to get a few brownies as these were my first few of the season. ATB Tight Lines, Daz Quote Link to post

Dazzam 239 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Rainbow trout season on some of the reservoirs is 1st February and 1st March for Brown trout over here. Quote Link to post
Dazzam 239 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Off work this week so i went for a few hours this afternoon to a different reservoir which usually holds good fighting wintered trout. The weather was freezing with the odd snow shower during the couple hours i was out. It was soo cold that the eyes on the rod starting freezing over and i had to continually break off the ice. Still managed to land a couple of nice fish........and no stockies this time . The trout in the 1st pic was just over 2lb. ATB Daz 3 Quote Link to post
