Adventures With Your Barrio Lines
Mike Barrio:
It would be great to see how you are enjoying your Barrio lines - please share your experiences!
Here are a couple of mine to get things going, I have really enjoyed my season and am looking forward to next year's adventures >)
A camping/fishing trip to Assynt, with the Smallstream line producing lots of Brownies along the shore.
An afternoon on the Don fishing Sandy's CDC Spiders on the SLX line and netting a couple of cracking Sea Trout in amongst the Browns.
Michael Kearney:
That Brown has lovely markings, Mike.
I'm currently fishing in South Island, NZ. Depending on the water, conditions and size of fly, I'm using either a 3wt, a 5wt or a 6wt rod, each matched to a Barrio line. These lines are of differing vintages; my 3wt one was purchase in 2014, which says a lot about the durability of your lines. In mid-September I caught the 8lb 4oz Brown shown below on my 6wt Stickman rod paired with a GT90 line. It is in wonderful condition for an early season fish. I will be back on the river where I caught that fish in mid-December when I hope to see trout taking adult red damselflies off the surface - heart-stopping fishing!
All the best, Michael
