Fly Fishing - How To Lose A Trout In A Wall!

First cast of the day on the River Twiss and I hooked into a big trout which took my size 16 Parachute Adams. After a brief fight he managed to get back to his bolt hole which is in the foundations of the drystone wall which forms the opposite bank. Damn!

At times like this, I try to remind myself that it's called "fishing," not "catching." 😊

Judging by the ruckus that was a "slab" of a trout. Oh well, based on another video you landed another magnificent GB in later casts. Great day on the river.

I feel for you, so frustrating! Lovely location though!

[@thedalesangler]

Well i suppose the good news is, that I now know where the hole in the footings is.

Damm 😊

Not quite the words I uttered under my breath...

It's never yours, until it's on a plate with chips around it😉 not that I keep many trout, these days.

Bugger. Never lost one to a hole in a wall. Lost plenty behind sunken logs though.

People then tell you fish are stupid, that fish knew exactly what he was doing

Agreed!
