minion 29 Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Had a day out fishing from the banks on Loch Lomond today. Managed to get one at 6lbs. I was fairly chuffed with it! Quote Link to post
Guest baldie Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Lomond is home to some monsters, if you get the chance seek out books by john watson, he,s fished it a lot, and shows where. Gord burton has also done a lot there, it has a reputation for hard to catch, but big, wild fish. Quote Link to post
jock meikle 2 Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 well done [bANNED TEXT] lomonds not easy to catch on,but like baldie says their are some huge fish in their,balmaha and ardlui seem the favorite areas,contact the paas some of their guys will help with areas to fish,and on a water the size of lomond you may need it ,good luck for future trips Quote Link to post

Just curious because its simialar fishing techniques Smudge all right smudge i think the ferox trout have a tendancy to stay right down deep i think you would nead difrent gear only a thought Quote Link to post
Smudge 0 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Some off the time they do, but alot are caught fishing just of the first ledge from the bank. To get that big they need food, alot of it, and theres more near the surface than very deep this is why i asked my question Cheers Smudge Quote Link to post
