I took a gamble filming it with my Canon camera while holding the trout rod in my left hand, thankfully the trout made it into the net.

I watched the brown move out of a shallow pocket of water near the river bank and swallow the small 30 mm rainbow trout pattern lure, the fish itself weighed 2.2 kgs (4lb 14ozs) . The trout did bleed for a sho...

2.2kg trout, that's a solid trout , Adrian! Well done. You look a lot younger in that video after landing that good fish :-D you must be very happy. Thanks Irishf & Sebb, Sebb, I may have looked younger but I wasn't feeling it until it was in the net, once it was in the net, I did have a smile from...
