Had my first experience of fishing Bewl yesterday, and my first encounter with Blue Trout.
Recently had a talk at one of the guild meetings with a Bewl expert and a few others chipped in with stories of the power of the Blues there, and put a degree of it down to poetic and artistic licence. But I was astonished at the ferocity and stamina of these fish, and have the burn mark on my line finger to prove it!! Stunning to look at, superb to catch and a delight to let go again.
Pound for pound, the best fish I've ever caught!!
