It may not feel like spring has arrived just yet but our trout season is well under way nonetheless and undeterred by the unseasonably cold weather, Sam and I were back out on the river this Easter weekend trying to tempt a few more trout with an array of hard and soft lures. In a couple of short sessions over the long weekend we each caught a few trout, nothing too spectacular in terms of numbers but they were decent sized fish (1-2lb) all the same.
My Set-up:
Rod: Cormoran ULX 1-9g
Reel: Shimano Rarenium CI4 2500
Line: Sunline Rockfish 0.3PE (6lb) braid with 4lb Sunline Small Game FC Leader
