Hi Folks,
I have spent quite a bit of time this past month fishing my local stream. It's a typical high ground spate stream which feeds into lough Neagh eventually, has a good head of wee trout, dollaghan from august and a few late salmon. This year I am catching a lot of salmon par, more than I have ever noticed before. I didn't keep a count but reckon 25 - 30% of my catch have been parr.
Last year we had no water in this stream until November and had a mild winter, again fairly dry too. The salmon run was not great either. Maybe they are on a feeding spree to fatten and smolt, I don't know.
Anyway, after that drivel, my question. How many parr/smolts would you guys catch in a days trout fishing?
Richard
