burnie69 376 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 4 of us went out Wednesday afternoon on a private water. Had 5 fish in total. 12.5 lb ,10 lb, 6.5lb and 2 x jacks . All took on spinners . Dead bait or plugs never had a nudge.Nothing massive but a good afternoon had. Quote Link to post
billybaltic 308 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'm out tomorrow throwing lures about, so here's hoping, got plenty of savage gear four plays and other savage gear lures also plenty of other types, a big s usually get's a few snatches and iv'e got plenty of mark houghton custom jobs that have never got wet yet, so plenty to try, but i find pick just half a dozen and go through them other wise you are changing lures more than you are fishing,well we'll see what happens.

BOLSTER 808 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) After 3 blank's i caught a small double on a over spill from the river after 40min's of fishing the other day. Put a huge bait out after & hoped for the big one's to come but not a sniff all day,live bait is a good way to half see what's around or use a dead roach around 4 inches as a lure. Tie the mouth shut & just try different speeds & depth's. Edited January 26, 2015 by BOLSTER 1 Quote Link to post

billybaltic 308 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 It's a great place to be, the fish can be hard to find on there that's why i don't mind naming it, them mountains have snow on them a lot of the time but what a place to spend time in, the village is like going back in time. Sometimes fish the river mainly for live bait's plenty of small browns and grayling also seen some big salmon in that river, the farmer's only charge a couple of £ to fish on there land aswell. That photo is a good'un mate, i haven't seen it that flat many times, it has waves like the beach sometimes, good luck and be carefull you don't bump in to teggie (bala's version of loch ness monster) PS. the best iv'e had out is a 12lb but mates have done better.
