None this far North
H
Not yet but if anyone fancies shoving a few in there would certainly reap the reward of fantastic sport on the NE river in years to come (if they become established).
Oops contrversial i know, but don't worry i'd get the blame anyway
In fact it has been known for me to have recieved pelters from the migratory fraternity on the slagging site for promoting brown trout 'vermin' as a serious and legitimate target species as they should all be eradicated and are not worthy of attention from serious game anglers.
If this is how certain anglers feel about the undoubted fantastic resource we have in our waters up here (because they eat young salmon parr, eggs etc and compete with the same base food sources as these immature fish) imagine the outburst should they connect with a 'Lady of the Stream'?)
Not that i'm saying we should do this thin ice and dodgy ground and all that, plus hyprocisy from me if i did given my feeling re pike movements, just wanted to highlight an outdated and poor general attitude that sadly still existists to some degree in the North. Sorry for hyjacking the thread a wee bit.
Getting back in track, heard the Clyde is worth a punt as the moment.
