Rainbow Trout caught on lake 3 at Roger Daltrey's Lakedown Trout Fishery
in 1994. The fish was taken on floating line using a gold head mayfly nymph.
It must be one of the best marked rainbows I have caught and it gave me a
place in the One Over The Eight Club. I managed to win the One Over The
Eight Club competition the following year after being invited to fish with
the other members of the club. I was presented with a fly rod
by Roger himself. Lakedown was one of my favourite trout fisheries. |
