19 pounds and some change, nice rainbow on a 6 weight and a little Orvis Battenkill in1998
A couple of Bass in 1999 on a blue and white Rapala J-13 and a heavy / floppy Daiwa spinning rod. Not a nice set up to fish with in hindsight but it never stopped me catching fish.
That will be me on the right and Graham on the left in 86, you can guess the venue. I think I was using a Zziplex NG1 at the time which cost me a packet. This was one of two doubles I caught off the pier in May. I think Rodney lost a brolly that night as it was blowing about a 40 mph southerly. The week before this I had a 12.10 and I think it was 5.4 on one cast in daylight.

Martin, that rainbow is a beast! Never seen many like that back in the 90's! Do you do much fly fishing for trout now?

Hi Kieron,
None at all these days, would love to get back up to South Uist for some nice wild fish sometime this year...
I actually now stay in the village where I caught that fish. The fishery closed years ago, he did have some monsters in there at the time.
