Hi Guys
Well ive finally gone swff ! Yesterday i was a guest of another forum member and i have to say a big " thank you " to him as in all honesty i probalby would have blanked with out his knowledge and tips.
I would have to say it was hard day, we only took a fish each all day but great experince and im sure plenty more sport to come when things warm up abit.
I used my Vision 9' 9# GT four SW Rod, Okuma helios reel, Di3 9# line, 5ft leader of 15lb mono. And my first proper "field test" of my Ikea Stripping basket
And i have to say it worked superbly
even with our mountain goat impressions required to get to certain fishing marks
The veiw,the rod, the reel:
My first Pollack:
The mouth/fly:
The Fly:
Such a beautiful fish the colours were amazing ! as you can see he really wanted the fly
an dunbell eyed orange fritz with orange artic fox tail on a 1/0 Aberdeen hook. Note the mouth damage on the left hand side pointing to the fish being caught before and probably a barbed hook being pulled out
My "barbless" fly was easily removed even as deep as it was
I cant wait till it warms up and more and more species become available
Great day, great fun
