Brute of a Brown Trout took offence at my Hart Absolut Minnow as I bounced it back towards me, with the flow. After a little walk around Newbury town centre together, we exchanged pleasantries and she went on her way again.
Brown Trout
The Brown Trout is the perfect adversary for ultralight spinning with LRF gear. Widespread, aggressive and quick, the Brown Trout will attack all manner of lures from spinners and spoons, to soft-plastic creatures and paddletails. They find it hard to resist an erratic action. Best of all, these fish fight hard all the way to the net and are one of our most beautiful native freshwater species.
Apres BLAC Trouting
After the Hungerford BLAC event on Saturday, Newbury angler Mark Taylor kindly offered to show me around some of his local trout waters. I duly obliged.
Old Brown Trout on Alderney
I definitely wasn’t expecting this from the sea angling nirvana of Alderney. As such, probably my favourite fish of our trip.
PB Brown Trout
Okay, it’s closed season, but this bycatch Brown Trout was very welcome after a drought (fish not rain!)
Meet Masaaki
Great day today in tough conditions. Had the pleasure of meeting up with Masaaki Fukuoka from Japan.
Brown Trout on Reins Lure
Quiet on the River Kennet this morning but managed a nice Brown Trout of 42cm. Good fun on my Garbolino Magister Micro Lure rod.
