Chatton Fly Fishing, Large Rainbow Trout

While the trout fishing on the whiteadder is terrible lately i paid a visit to another favourite place, Chatton Trout fisheries also in Northumberland, they have three very well stocked lakes to fish, now theres nothing better than hooking a strong fit river wild brown trout but hooking into a plump trout here at Chatton is just as good.



The picture here is of the only fish i caught during my two hour visit but i was very pleased with it, it took me nearly 15 minutes to land it, every time i thought it was ready it shot off away from the edge, i didn't weigh it so I'll never know its weight, but i returned it back to the lake to fight another day.




The picture is of the Bronze Buzzer i caught the trout with, cast out towards the weeded area, let it sink for a few seconds and the retrieve..

All in all a good day out, highly recommend paying Chatton a visit.

45 miles, one fish!

Well after looking forward to a full days fishing for the best part of a week it was a bit of a shambles, the weather was great but the water was low, very low.

travelled up and down the whiteadder from spot to spot, decent sized fish everywhere but caught only one trout, very small, using a Greenwells glory fly.



Several fly changes couldn't tempt the bigger trout, I'm putting this whole day down to very very low water levels.

It wasn't all bad tho, i did see a deer and a badger, and to be out in the sun in the Scottish border countryside all day certainly beats being at work.

In a recent post i put up a photo of a scaly salmon, saw lots more like this today, also dead salmon.

Well things had better get better next time or i may have to return to Chatton to do some real trout fishing...watch this space.
