I have PM'd the recipe to you Dundee. If you do use it then post a pic but guard the recipe with your life otherwise everyone will be living like a king and we just can't have that. Only joking mate, by all means share. It is only my venison marinade that I will leave to someone in my will.
My experience is even small pools can hold 1/2 dozen trout all round the same size but also very often there is a big fish with them
He'll generally be very cagey ,he hasn't got big by being stupid.I've taken 3 fish out of the head of a pool with out moving my feet & then picked up another 2 at the tail end of same pool . They also seem to be quite territorial & 1 good fish in a pool or run is common.
The prime spots on the river are very popular & doesn't take long for another fish to move in.
You want some plum sauce to go with that baked trout .
Thanks Rushy and Chris I'll stick too the watties:thumbsup:
I'm not lucky when it comes to good trout but my brother is so here ya go, these are river fish, lake fishing is boring to me.

Good trout there Toby! Just had Neckshot out here on the river today.Good times:thumbsup:
Thank's guys. The trout fishing used to be good, but it all changed after the commercial ellers came then it got pretty bad.
Thanks for that dundee water wasnt good for it like you say but it was good to travel 5 mins from my house and have a flick around with great company.Jakey wants to buy himself a rod like Daniel was using tonight with his b day money and wants to know when were going back down to the river with your selves.thanks again.
Anytime Neckshot:P Cleared up a bit today but that wind was bloody cold. Hour and a half down there tonight:D
