my mates grandad used to do it, as a way of life.

his trick was, to just wade upstream (always upstream) on an old stream next to a factory, that had naturally grown brown trout and perch, few others.

he said, the first time you try, you will almost always just scare the trout off, due to the adrenaline you will feel from feeling that scaly belly.

but he used to stick his hands under the banking and under overhanging bushes etc.

then when he felt the fish, he pulled his hand away slightly, and just brushed 3 fingers across the trout's belly, one after the other. if it stayed, then after about 5 seconds, he'd grab it, and fling it onto the other bank. he's tickled thousands of trout in his time, and still does, every so often. it's great fun, but very hard to master. just keep trying and eventually you'll get them. it's almost as if they are in a trance, because their belly is very sensitive.

 

ATB mate.

hope this helped.

Used to do it when I was a boy, we called it guddling. In those days all the burns [streams] had a healthy population of troot. We used to walk upriver along the bank and the troot would shoot either below an overhanging bank or below a rock. Then it was just a case of getting into position then slowly entering your hands into the water, one infront of the troot and the other behind it. You can run your fingers along it's belly while you get both hands in the right position then you grab it and throw it onto the bank or you just grab it straight away and throw it out.

 

I've also guddled sea trout out of the burns aswell.thumbs.gif
