My second best trout of the season..

Post by meppstas » Mon Apr 18, 2022 1:54 pm

This is just a short video of the second best trout that I've caught in a river this season. 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. It certainly tested out the fine (0.15mm diameter) Platypus Pulse ultra thin 4lb premium mono line too.
cheers
Adrian

Gorgeous looking trout, slightly dark I'm guessing because of the habitat. Big male that one is, well done Adrian :tu:
That platypus 4lb is pretty thin at 0.15mm.

How's the record this season?

Thanks Sebb, I've gone one better since that trip with a much larger brown being caught on the same lightweight set up, different river though.
It was a real heart in the mouth thing when I hooked it too.. I'll put the report up later on.. :tu:

cheers
