Even the gale force winds couldn't stop us catching 20 rainbows between two of us on Good Friday.Set up is a budget priced Grey's g series rod and reel with a greys platinum hi viz floating line;


Lets see who else braved the elements?!!!!

What did you get them on my friend.

Hi Phil-k

I've been bored silly......the Grayling season ended 15th and the trout doesnt start till 25th in Yorkshire(10 days no fishing )....thats rivers of course.....even ended up at Asda yesterday sho*****

Looking at the met charts for tom and Monday looks cold but no wind so WILL be out somewhere on a stillwater just to retain my sanity.

Well done for braving the elements and it just goes to prove that you can't catch em sat in your armchair......you've gotta GO.....and they still have to feed at some time.

All mine were on a white and orange woollie worm fished on the drop.The line needs to be fairly low diameter for good presentation and so far I have used 4.75lb Grande Max Riverge;



I get these from our friend Morayflyfisher at http://www.morayflyfisher.com/

I have fished a couple of times for rainbows on small stillwaters as all of my fishing is on rivers.I have enjoyed these days as the rainbows put up a great scrap,the ptn has been very good for me.Soon i will be after rainbows again and i will try that fly.

Weather was XXXp,
The fishing was good.
Company was great.
Heater in the car afterwards was fantastic !

lol. we will have to do it again Phil when the wind is less than force 9 and the midday temp is above 5C.
