That’s a very nice trout Adrian!meppstas wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2019 4:21 pmEach year the weather pays a big part at the start of the trout season here Lx, the best I've done on the first trip to a river was 14 browns way back in 2011. Good thing is when I have gone on my first trip I've always caught a few trout.... there's been many trout season opening weekends when I haven't even bothered to go out the door due to it being so wet & windy, plus it's still Winter too so the weather is unpredictable.. :down:Lightningx wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2019 3:45 pmHave you ever started off with a huge bang Adrian and started off with one of those dream sessions on your very first day of the season?
Not sure how I'll go tomorrow as there's a lot of snow melt coming down the rivers so they're going to be very cold.. There's been mornings when I could only have ten minute stints in the river due to it being so cold, I hop out for around five minutes then get back in and fish another ten minutes & just repeat the same thing over and over.. this is when " SAFETY MUST COME FIRST " do not take any risks, if you're unsure of the river such as it's depth & flow don't get in it. if you take a fall in fast flowing snow water you won't come out alive that's for sure.. My best fish taken at the start of the 2016/17 season went 2.65kgs (5lb 13ozs)
cheers
