Frenchieboy Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 What a cracking photo mate. The timing to have got that photo is so perfect, well done! I have to admit that I miss my visits with a fly rod at Pennine Trout Fishery (Nice and local to me). If I don't get an outing for some Roe Buck Stalking for my birthday treat maybe I will fo fly fishing instead as they have some real monsters up there!

If I don't get an outing for some Roe Buck Stalking for my birthday treat maybe I will fo fly fishing instead as they have some real monsters up there! I had a factory in Manchester and use to spend a week a month there. Many evenings spent at Penine Trout Fishery, back when they introduced salmon to the front lake as an experiment. I also caught a 19lb rainbow from the back lake, which was a very disappointing experience, it fought like a wet sack and I think it had probably been stocked the same day. I am pleased to say that I caught lots of other very hard fighting fish there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 I don't know when you were fishing there Cranfield but if it was around the time that Pennine Trout Fishery launched their web site you will almost certainly know me as I used to fish there around two or three times a week and I designed their web site for Lee and Andy! I have to say that it really is a very well organised and well stocked fishery with extremely helpful staff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPoacher Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) Top pic chap but did you land him? The pic was taken as an advertising initiative as part of the launch of Troutpoppers surface lures. The popper had its hook cut off so it did not catch any that day. I've had loads of trout, perch, pike and bass on them over here and some large mouth bass in Cyprus on the Troutpoppers. I'm afraid that Pennine Fishery is an anathma to me. I prefer to find wild fish in local and often urban rivers rather then the stocked pellet pigs. Edited April 15, 2011 by UKPoacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 I understand what you are saying UKPoacher but you have to understand that to some people good wild brown or sea trout waters are hard to come by in many areas. I (And many others I suspect) would much rather pit their wits against and catch a good fresh run Sea Trout but the opportunity to do that for me is hard to come by so when the opportunity arises for some Rainbows I have to settle for what I can get and in that respect Pennine Trout Fishery is the nearest and best chance I am likely to get to wet my fly line!

UKPoacher Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 You'd be surprised how much free fishing there is if you look. Much of it is overlooked and never fished. I've caught trout and grayling in industrial estates and waste land near to city centre at Sheffield, and amongst the mill ruins in Huddersfield, and had loads of chub to 6lb and barbel to 10lb from free stretches of my local river. There is a water I know where you can catch virtually everything from bream and carp through trout and sea trout to bass, flounder and mullet within a mile of the car, all free. You just have to look for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
