I used to fish at Narborough a bit, never in the lakes, always in the stream at the back, the moving water made the trout taste beautiful, like salmon!

Blackpowder Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Unless caught in a stream they will taste like a ruddy growbag! Coldingham Loch rainbows when I last fished there had firm flesh almost aas red as sea trout and ate well hot smoked or oven baked.

secretagentmole Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 We are talking about England here where most Rainbow trout are fresh from the trout farm and religiously fed on pellets which promote that Fison's flavour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobba Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Fly pattern and colour please? Fly pattern and colour please? Black boobys num 7 fast sinking line I don't call a booby a wet fly. ;-] but well done anyway I still have 12 days to go before my local lake is open. Lol. That's not wet fly fishing. That's ledgering! Boobies!!!!!! Not my style either but if it ticks your boxes and avoids the dreaded "Blank Day" so be it. Snow White, as a matter of interest, was it private lake or water board lake and what do you pay and the daily limit up your way? Just curiosity. I am looking at fishing this week at Blagdon Lake outside Bristol (Bristol Water Board). The price per fisherman per boat this season is £36.00 concession for a row boat. Up £5 from what we paid last season. I.e. Over £70 for the boat. Bank tickets £17.50 concessions. Full day ticket is 8 sizeable fish. By comparison a local private lake bank fishing is 3 fish limit £19.00 Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow white Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) Was fishing brenig lake its in north wales.it was £63 for the boat for two of us the bag limit was 6 fish each.i now using boobys is not wet fly fishing but some people on here have to pick hairs.I could say clay shooting is not real shooting but i dont.shooting to me is game shooting and vermin control not shooting at bits of clay that are no good for man or beast.so please dont knock any body for trying somethink.

Fatcatsplat Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I fish a lot at Hanningfield and occasionally at Rutland Water as long as they ain't sea monsters - less than 4lbs - they taste absolutely fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFC Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Grafham and Pitsford Rainbows are delicious. Feeding on killer shrimp makes the flesh Salmon red. Well done on your catch. I had a 4lb and 2lb on green and black tadpole Di3 from the bank for my first day of the new season last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bantam boy Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hello, yes I started fishing at Ringstead about thirty odd years ago, we used to get there early on opening day and have to beak the ice on the boat seats! I think as a fishery it's had it's ups and downs over the years, Elinor, is owned by the same family I believe, Andy, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
