Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

How does a day's fishing like this work WRT rod licenses I wonder - you aren't fishing specifically for either course or game fish, you're just spinning in a river. If you happen to catch a trout but don't have a game license, is that an issue (in theory)?

I think trout and chub are both covered by the same license, it would just be migratory fish that aren't. If you catch one without a license you'd have to just let it go. No avoiding it really!

I think it got into the river from a fishery, or reservoir further upstream. There were some huge floods the year before. I'm sure it wasn't a wild fish. I've even caught tench and barbel off the top before... Resting a pellet bait on the top of lily pads, so the fish knock it off and take it.

I admire your complete honesty, "If you want to know how to catch river fish the easy way...". I only ever fish traditionally for trout, with flies and nymphs. I loath the instant gratification of 'spinning' and modern lure fishing, experiencing it as contemptuous and disrespectful of that knowledge of the natural world, and ecology of the river, required by real fishermen. But I like you and your appreciation of trout. I only wish you'd film the art of fly fishing more often. p.s. You can catch most fish, from minnows to huge chub, using flies but, yes, it's a great skill, an art, and not "the easy way". Not just banging on about lures and "fish on, fish on, fish on..." you will develop a far greater appreciation of river ecology, fly-life, water quality and the terrible incongruence of imposing technology (including plastic lures) upon the natural world.

@@adventurefishinguk its definitely better generally. also you can afford to go quite a bit bigger with the lures. kelly galloup,s modern streamer fishing for trophy trout shows him using 5 to 7 inch streamer flies for big brown trout. it doesnt provoke a feeding response, its more of a territorial thing. your numbers with go down but the size will go right up. ive had trout to 4 and 5lb in streams half the size of that one up here in scotland.
