zanders will eat anything and everything

even pike

Might be the power bait sh**e has made mutant trout dave

Ive only ever seen one pike and that was at Scaling Dam it was laid dead on the Dam Wall.
Ive caught perch which are a bonny fish.
Ive seen tench many years ago that was like olive green from memory.
The darkest brown trout i have caught was from Cow Green that was really peaty brown with lovely red spots and golden yellow belly.
Its flesh was deep red wityh eating shrimps they say.

HI

dAVE

i could it be a ferroc I know they up in Scotland lochs

There is a trout in Blackton that i caught last time i fished there and that poor fish looked as though it had been in the ring with Mike Tyson.
Fins were missing its lips were like them botox freeks.
It was lean through lack of food.
Rainbow Trout are greedy buggers thats why introducing them into water that doesnt have a lot of natural food can be cruel.
Catch and release also has done damage.
It cant be good when you hear about these matchmen bragging they have caught and released 50 fish in so many hours while practising for the match the next day.

HI PETER

GOOD OR BAD ITs whAT BRINGS THE MONEY THROUGH THE DOORS ISNT MANY WATERS THAT DOSNT HAVE ENOUGH FOOD ONE WAY OR ANOTHER DERWENT EVERYONE THINKS IS DEAD THATS RUBBISH IT ISNT NO RUTLAND BUT IVE SEEN OLVIVES COMMING OFF SIZE OF MAYFLYS AND SEEN ONE GREAT MAYFLY HATCH MIND YEAS AGO PLUS ALL THE WATERS NOW HOLD ROACH AND MINNOWS PLUS PLENTY MAGGOTS WORMS OFF THE BAIT LADS

ITS THE POOR HANDLING ON MOST RESERVOIRS THAT STILL SHOCKS ME THATS THE BIGGEST REASON TO ME FOR NO CATCH AND RELEASE DONT THINK RESERVOIR ANGLERS GIVE THE FISH SAME RESPECT AS THE SMALL STILL WATERS
