PB TROUT

[Parabuteos lad 878]

for some reason i decided the first fly fishing outing in 6 months was to be today,

a call to my mate " ill pick you up at 9am"

9am~ a call from my mate "were are you"

i replied, 9:30am, yet again mum wasnt ready.

packed the stuff and off i went.

arrived at 11:03, paid for 4 hours 2 fish

i caught 3 fish and my mate caught 1. i had my limit of a brace, he had half and with 30 minutes left he was getting extremely agitated.

15:03

scoreline remained the same,

i began to reel in my line... thud... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, a trout had somehow managed to rip my line from my reel despite me having the drag at full the fight proceeded and i landed a 7lb 1oz rainbow trout. im not one to see my mate go home with half his limit so what did i do... gave him my smallest and kept the 7lb'er

so next month i might be in the trout fisherman again but with a fish 1lb bigger than my previous pb

PS. the pic doesnt do this fish justice and it will be served at my cousins party next week out - sizing the salmon
