Guest Fishaben Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 trout tend to feed all year round apart from maybe in the freezing cold or the scorching sun, just depends on what fly/bait you use. Ben Quote Link to post
SeanTheHawker 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 out of season?or is it stockies yoru after? Quote Link to post
Guest Eamon.Mc Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 If your using the fly rod on the stockies id recommend a sinking line and booby nymphs, i find it very good in winter Aggreetotaly with above comment, this time of year trout tend to go deep and do not move about as much the above method is a bit monotonous but can be very productive. This time of year on stocked waters I fish sinking line, a 2 ff leader with a booby cast out wait til the line is lying on the bottom the slow retrieve 6 inches at a time with the odd jerk thrown in.Only problem I've had with this method is the trout sometimes nearly swallow it right down but on waters where it's a legal method can be deadly.

Guest Fishaben Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 (edited) some fisheries dont allow booby fishing because the trout hardy ever see anything that looks like a booby. This means the fish hit it real hard and often ( thats why its so productive ), because they hit it so hard they swallow the booby right down, so far down that most of the time they are unhookable without chopping the line leaving the booby down in the fish, and if you are on catch and release they obviously dont like you putting fish back with flies still in them.
