I'm almost too embarrassed to answer. My local 7½ acre trout fishery has only been stocked with around 300 fish - this year - the last time in early May. As you can imagine, the fishing's been difficult - I won't be rejoining.

A season of two halves for me - 1st half outstanding, 2nd half challenging.

Not the best on record for me, plenty of big fish this year, but a general lack of normal sized river trout IMO.

Worst ever!!

Slipped a disc in my back on 27th March and haven't fished since then. Had an operation to sort it out three weeks ago so roll on the middle of November.
