A pretty little brownie. Are they all small or did you have any bigger ones? What were you using?

Pic. Note i was not drinking during the fishing only after wards as i was not driving i decided to have a cold one.

I'm jealous, its good to see some things haven't changed. I used really enjoy the mackie bashing when I was younger growing up in west Clare. We used take hundreds home in fertiliser bags and spend hours driving around offering a few fresh fish to neighbours.
Some used be delighted but i could see some thinking what the fuk do I do with these at 11.30 0n a tue night!!
I still fish for them here in Scotland but am lucky if I catch 2 of an evening.

yeah they were all small some even too small for the fly but they still had a go anyway im hopping to try a few more lakes locally but they require a bit of hiking id imagine they all carry a similar size of trout fly of choice was the claret bumble muddler

Jesus your not far off the mark! He was 1lb 14oz.
There's plenty of fish much bigger than that lad in it but very hard catch!

I use a very light rod so i get great sport out of even small fish, but its vertually impossible to fly fish it because its very overgrown and that puts a lot of lads off fishing it, but im not complaining, its all the more for me!

I call it jungle fishing!!:D:D:D

He's a smasher!!!;)

Pokes

Thanks guys , yeah he put up a fair old scrap. Funny thing was , i was in the local fishing shop earlier in the day to get some stuff and was talking to the owner. Told me it was pretty much a waste of time going down with the worms. Ive never understood why people insist that you wont catch on worms when the river is not just coming down from a flood. In my personal experience ive found that fishing the deeper pools and under banks with a worm in lower water conditions can be deadly.

ironbluedun

nice trout....pokes, is that a ugly stick rod you are using?

Compton

looks like an 8ft ugly stik with shimano 5010gt baitrunner.

Pokes

Yep its an ugly stik , reel is a shimano 6010 xt-7 , I find the baitrunner brilliant for when im trotting , i can let off some line without having to open the bail arm all the time. I have to admit i love the ugly stik rods for worming , I know its a bit short at 2.4m but they are such versatile rods.

Yea they are great little rods.....and not too expensive either....have one myself for salmon....mine is 2.75m (9ft) dont think its too short at 9 ft...they are good for worming/spinning for salmon too......a lot of salmon anglers like them.

Compton

have a 10ft ugly stick lite for salmon spinning.

The rod is a drennan tench float. The reel is a greys bewick centrepin. Nothing fly going on here.

Oh, I must update my location. It was caught in South Co. Monaghan.
