  • I can't believe I caught this river GIANT after attempting to scale the rapids! This session was a BFS Micro jigging session on one of the small rivers I've been exploring. Fishing with baits only a few cm in size the target was supposed to be wild chub, but they weren't the only fish taking a fancy to my micro baits!

    The stream looks more to me like a trout stream than a coarse fish venue, love that streamer weed. Our small spate streams around here produce very little of it, but when present it usually means plenty of insect life to feed trout. I’ve taken plenty of river trout when a teenager on ultralight spin tackle out of white water pots like that, but that was half a century ago with a solid glass Milbro 7ft rod and an original Mitchell 300 - which i eventually wore out by using it exclusively for spin fishing. Mepps Aglia silver no.0 and no.1, black fury no. 2 in low Summer levels. Always cast upstream, never let the trout get below as control is then more or less gone. Nice bit of work here, your watercraft looks pretty sound to me. And I’ve never hooked a wild brownie remotely the size of yours shown here!

    During my childhood in the early 1940's I lived in a small coal mining village hamlet. Our next door neighbours were very poor and relied on any wild rabbit, hare or fish the family boys caught. I saw some huge fish the boys brought home and their dad skinning Pike ( their dad told me they would eat anyrthing but Pike fish skin ) or gutting all the other fish they had caught. So, every time I see a caught fish retrurned back to water it reminds me of "The ones that never escaped"
