Default which would you rather catch...>?

OK, what floats your boat most..? Difficult choice no doubt, but if you could catch one of the above, what would it be?? I think i'm going for the salmon. I'd dearly love one day to see a bar of silver of that size explode out of the river with my fly in it's scissors...

Overcoming the odds against the tiny Brain of a wild brownie.
(Once its on the line I dont care anymore I just want it back in the stream with minimum fuss and suffering, or quickly dispatched and on the way home to the pot).

I went for 4lb grayling from the Welsh Dee as thats my goal for 2010 or at least a bit closer to 4lb managed 3lb 4oz in 2009 and am sure I lost 2 that were bigger.
Shame I could only have 1 vote as a 10lb Brown from a chalk stream and a 20lb Welsh Sea trout would also be nice but hey need something for the future

Hi There,

I would rather have two half pound Brownies than any of the above.

The tug is the drug....

Best Regards

robbie

I went for a sea trout . But what I would really like is a three pound Grayling from a Yorkshire stream caught on a dry fly on a bright autumn day .
