Managed a few trout tonight but this was a surprise

The trout faught well and was returned safely to the water.



It was caught on a small balloon caddis.

Lovely looking fish Beacon, if this was caught in a non-stocked water it may well be there are Brook trout about mate!

My local Fishery Alderneuk has put in a few Tigers, i had one just over three pounds
beautiful looking Fish and fought like the Devil.

Stunning photo, two tigers in the same picture!! Look at the dorsals - cracking!!

As I said before it was my first encounter and what a trout it was , The fight and sheer beauty was a great experience.

I am told they are bottom feeders but the trout hammered a size 16 balloon caddis.

Have never caught one, would love to though they are real lookers.

i to caught my first tiger 2 weeks ago i was over the moon with it and it gave a good scrap as well ...i got mine from bangour ..... i know for a fact they are alot of them getting caught just now as they become ready to spawn thay are very aggressive ...the pier on the dam has been holding a load ... tight lines.
