I was fishing last night on Kintore, seen two brown trout jump at the roadside bank at simpsons pool.  I also heard of a 3lb brown trout caught by the islands across from the golf clubhouse.

I never caught any........but it's early days....

Cheers,

Steven

Hi Steve,

I'm still on the Salmon trail so I don't know when I'll get the 3wt out. I've had 4 or 5 nice browns on the Salmon Tubes - all returned unharmed & lost a nice brown about the 3lb mark 100 yards down from the Kintore Bridge. Also saw a couple of maybe 3/4" - 1lb fish at the Millstream. All bodes well for a good season.


See you down at the river sometime.

Saturday was a day for all sensible fly fishermen to stay at home. There was a half gale out of the north with the air temperature at 20 C and frequent blizzards, so I went fishing. I got some fresh air and exercise walking the bank but no fish. :cry

Ah well, got it out of my system. :z8

I was out on Friday afternoon just above the Parkhill bridge on the North Bank and missed a few but got a nice Brownie of about 1 lb (Stockie). Wind was a bit of a pain though (The weather - not me...)
