Default 11lb 8oz Rainbow from Grafham, mounted.

Ok, so I'm testing the waters here, but I have a mounted rainbow caught in '95 by my Grandad at Grafham Water. The misses will never in a million years let me put it up anywhere and I don't see the point in it living in the loft forever, so I'm seeing whether anyone would be interested in it. I will get some pics asap but this fish has to be seen to be believed, it's what a rainbow should look like, fin perfect, like a steelhead, I don't have a figure in my mind and open to offers.

Sorry about the colour, I will take a picture in daylight tomorrow.

Ben, I would keep the fish and get rid of the misses.

If it doesnt sell why not ask Grafham if they would put it up in the lodge? better than the loft.

I was married for 25 years and I had the same trouble. I divorced her 13 years ago.

She now wishes she had let me put up my pics.

I have had my share of ladies, but only one grandad.

Very true indeed, and he will always be your Grandad......
