Brown Trout Fishing with a new set up 🙄

[@alexnunn-thompson223]

Penn pursuit iv 2500 has done me very well for browns and seatrout in caithness the last couple years. Lovely robust wee reel nice to use.

[@povfishingorkney]

I have one I use for the sea trout right enough Alex , fine peedie reels👍🏻

[@Gandutastic]

I think you're right about Savage Gear being focussed on seatrout fishing. I've tried a few of their rods and would agree that the one you're using isn't great. I'd recommend trying the parabellum - it's got a lovely soft tip but plenty of backbone too and is very light. I've got the 9 foot casting weight up to about 25g and used it a lot for seatrout, very nicely balanced and much superior to the sgs2 which is what it looks like you're using.

[@povfishingorkney]

Awesome thanks 👍🏻, I'll have a look at that. Yeah, it's the SG2 I bought and I think it is more aimed at sea/bass fishing.

[@Caithnessflyfisher]

Mate I just love seeing the quality and size of these fish.. Fukn stunning

[@povfishingorkney]

That was probably my least productive day up there as you Ken, women and fishing don't mix 🙄 I love my troot, but a vagina is a different animal 😏🤣🤣

i’m using a Daiwa Powermesh AX 7ft, 5-14g and it chucks those savage gear minnows for miles.

[@povfishingorkney]

@23om23 Just had a look, I found one online at 8ft 8 inches "this seller will not post to scottish Highlands and islands " 😏😕 (The struggle is real) 🤣

[@23om23]

@@povfishingorkney i never get the “highlands and islands” thing, why not just give it to the royal mail! the rod is bloody great though, small broonies are exciting and anything above 2lb is epic. thanks for the line through minnow tip, they’re even better than the tasmanian devils and less snaggy too

[@povfishingorkney]

@@23om23 I definitely feel more in control of them, tazzies have their place, but the side to side motion on stoney bottoms keeps you busy 🤣

[@whitetroutchannel]

least your out on a few fish mate and it gives that new rod n reel a wee stretch out, i got that penn pursuit 4 and a penn wrath 2 rod, my old penn pursuit reels are still goin 2 mate, the only think is rod length it all 7fts with the light castin weights but kinda suits me coz im a short arse anyway lol 😂

[@povfishingorkney]

I have a pursuit I use for the sea trout right enough, I've noticed that indeed with the stumpy rods 😏🤣 I like the idea of getting distance if I need it and the confidence when I'm into something decent. I'd panic with anything over 3lb with a 7 ft rod 🤯

[@whitetroutchannel]

@@povfishingorkney that wrath 2 rod i got has a decent bit of back bone to it mate handle the last 3lb trout i hooked no sweat but another foot on it would just set it off but im like you mate rod n reel isnt top of my agenda, im more concerned about leader n lures, thats where the things happen

[@povfishingorkney]

@whitetroutchannel Exactly, the reels I've used for the past few year haven't really let me down, my daiwa lad might have a few year in it left. Seriously thinking about trying to get lures made and painted independently. There's days I look at my lures and I think the pattern/colours just not there, especially the second part of the season when they seem to be more interested in natural patterns. (Something to think about in the winter) 🤔

[@whitetroutchannel]

@@povfishingorkney mate your inside my head 😂😂 im sick of lures havin deadly movement but non uk patterns, half them lure designs all come from scandanavian desks and it just doesnt seem to cut over here, ive been paintin lures most of this season and ive had fish this year on lures ive never had so much as a follow in with, theres bound to be a chinese company that could make the blanks to speck, im surprised no company has brought out a "DIY" kit pack with blanks and a few wee pots of the paint they use, id buy 1 😂😂

[@povfishingorkney]

@whitetroutchannel It's frustrating, you see cheap Chinese jerk baits and spoons etc with fantastic paint jobs and I think "....if only!" 🤣 I'm besotted with thru lines now, but the stocks are low everywhere. Im getting most lures from Germany and Poland now anyway , be as well getting them from China 😏 Definitely something I'm thinking about. Maybe wait and see if the channel and through line popularity looks like growing a bit? Be better taking the like of that home in bulk and selling a few.

[@pointitnorth252]

I just bought the Shimano beastmaster 10ft / miravel 4000 size reel combo so far so good but I'm just back from Hoy heldale 9hr fishing got fu 😖😖 all

[@povfishingorkney]

@pointitnorth252 Maybe not the best Loch to try it out on 🤔🤣 Best place in the world to blank though, I bet you walked away quite happy 😊 😉

Hey buddy how you doin love watching your vlogs some beautiful trout I'm comin to orkney Friday my best brownie is 12 oz would love to break my p.b in orkney..eternally grateful if you could put me on a loch up there a pound fish would make my visit regards Antony

[@povfishingorkney]

Hello there Sir, most Lochs will give you a chance of a fish over 2lb+. Are you wading, from the bank or from a boat, are you using flies, lure or worm? The Lochs are very different but there's a good chance you'll beat your PB 😉

[@antinyandrusjak3861]

I'll be wading I recently watched you and your mate wading in a loch you both had a great day I'll be mostly fly fishing but will be throwing lures if the weather doesn't allow me to fly fish

[@povfishingorkney]

That would have been Swannay Loch, best fished in the morning and late afternoon in my opinion with lures anyway. It's an awkward wade and slippy, I'd recommend a wading stick (trekking pole) You'll beat your PB effortless 👌
