Rainbow Fishers?
Mike Barrio:
Do you enjoy fishing for Rainbows?
I'm sure there are quite a few keen Rainbow fishers amongst the forum members :)
I know I naturally lean towards fishing for Brownies on the river, and sometimes lochs ( which tend to involve a bit more distance ) but I do also enjoy a few hours fishing for rainbows. Especially if the fish are willing to look up, an evening rise on a stillwater can be good fun.
Cheers
Mike
Gavin Stevenson:
I have similar opinon to yourself Mike. I enjoy few hours at Midmar occasionally which has nice backdrop and can be great fun with buzzers
Mike Barrio:
I haven't been up to Midmar fishery for many years Gavin, must fix that :z16
James Laraway:
I do fish for rainbows occasionally but I tend to come away feeling 'empty'. It's not that they are rainbows per say but more that they are stocked fish and I just don't get the same buzz as when I catch wild fish.
I would probably feel different fishing for over wintered rainbows in say a big reservoir but small 'holes in the ground' just don't do it for me as a general rule. Forbes if Kingennie is the only stocked fishery I really liked but I mainly fished the boathouse pool that is 'wilder' and more difficult to fish due to all the trees etc. Interesting I was the only person fishing it - everyone else fished the other pools where they didn't need to worry about their backcast !
Gavin Stevenson:
James, agree with sentiment, I actually limit my 'techniques' to buzzer and dries.
