Giant Sea Trout

''Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'', (hope thats right)

 

But give me a fully scaled mirror any day Peter :

 

Indeed.

 

A big, bright-silver, fresh-run, deep-bodied, hen sea-trout that repeatedly leaps so high on hook-up that, to your deep-wading eye, she seems to be (and very likely is) above you...

 

Seeing the tail of virtually every salmon I catch now (together with all the sea-trout...) kick into gear as their strength returns as I return them...

 

A REAL barbel. Hard, lean and slim. Uncaught. Never seen a pellet...

 

A big, river-roach. Perfect scales and fins, unripped mouth, in any winter light, deepest gloom or briefest bright...

 

ANY perch of ANY size...

 

And a number of others.

 

So many beauties.

Bit like comparing a JCB with a Lambourgini though
