Thread: Catch Any Trout Today?

Some nice country there Kiwijames. If you‘d gone tomorrow could have have slung a rifle over your back? Although that can get tricky with fly casting - but not impossible.

Yeah the problem with that is you see deer when you're fishing and you see fish when you're hunting. You can never do one right. I'll try and do my bit for conservation in the next few days.

It’s the first law of hunting and fishing - have rod see deer, have rifle see fish, I’ve been there!

A bit hard to tell @kiwijames but are you running a Scott Radian and Lamson Litespeed there?

Nice. Bar the line I run the same. I’m on a Rio Gold at the moment. I ran a few SA’s before that.

I couldn't get the Rio Gold to load at all. I had just bought the Radian and I was devastated it was a lemon. I was near selling it but I have an MPX on my 5wt Sage One and really liked that so I bit the bullet and bought another in 6wt. With the SA it's a totally different rod.

That’s interesting mine seems to load ok, but you’ve got me thinking now - I’ve got some other lines on an older reel I might try them just to see.

The SA’s were on my older Kilwell Presentation I’ll have to check the older reel to see what line that was running in the end, but I don’t think it was SA.
