How was your 2004 Season?

Recommended Posts

Just wondering how everyones year was on the Lochs, Rivers and Reservoirs.

 

My year could of been better, butI guess I cant complain ... except when the Midgees were out !!!!!

 

My catches were:

 

Countless Brown Trout - best just over 2 lbs.

 

Sea Trout - 5, best at 3lbs (large number of Finnock all returned)

 

Salmon - 3, two coloured September hens 4lbs & 5 lbs (returned) and a Silver cock fish in October which I kept.

 

Oh, and a huge Common Eel one day ... I guess at near 2lbs in weight. Yucky thing !!!!!

Season over? not for the Rainbow on lakes it's not!

So far had a good year, mainly on the club lakes - always getting a good bag and enjoying some 'sport' on a small lake where it's C&R. Took the kids a few times to - and once again they get the bigger fish! - lad spotted his first Adder this year as well (last Adder that he did not spot he rode over on his bike!)

Had fun on the Test in Oct and had Grayling and Sea trout, Will try to do a bit more river fishing next year as I enjoy it so much even if it's harder.

Should get a chance for a fish or two over Xmas as the clubs lakes are well sheltered and down here we hardly get decent frosts.

Eel on a fly? now that's a new one!

Season's greetings to all our reader's

Havn't been out as much as I would like, blanked everytime at the beach, but the still waters have been fair to me with only one blank. Have been trying out as many different waters as possible, so it's been fun.

 

Started tying my own flys, buzzers being the most successful, fantastic feeling catching on your own design, even better when your mates ask for them and also catch.

 

Hoping to try the Itchen before new year, first time on a river, so any help would be greatfully received.

Itchen? Grayling only till next spring!?

Only know some huge trout lurk in section under the A34 at 'winnal' as I've watched 'em & thown them my lunch.

Lower reaches (below Winchester) is Sea Trout & Salmon as well as Trout & Grayling + Coarse fish. Above Winchester the Salmon seem to fade - same the Sea trout.

PB stocked lake brown in September.

My best total for number of stillwater rainbows in a day in September.
