Thats a fair size Mike, what did it weigh?

Are you stocking rainbows again or is that an ellusive fish from previous stocks of bows?

This was taken in April 2007 Adam :wink

I estimated that one to be a tad over 20 lbs. I have sold Haddo Trout Fishery remember, but you can contact Clint the new owner for a days fishing http://fishingthefly.co.uk/haddo-trout-fishery.html and you never know what you might catch :cool:

Cheers

Thanks Mike  :z14
That was some of the best clothes on fun I've ever had. I remember targeting the big boy and pulling the fly away when a wee one had a look at it. The wee ones were all around 8-10lbs :shock
It was like an aircraft carrier surrounded by destroyers. And considering the weight in the boat that was one strong Rainbow. We started up by the car park and ended up in front of the hut.

AWESOME!
