big Bigland Rainbows

With the new brown trout and river season just round the corner i had a trip up to bigland tarn, the weather wasn't that good a cold wind was blowing down the tarn.After signing in i noticed that all the catch returns were lures, lures and more lures.

On wandering down the tarn and looking for a bit of shelter from the bitter wind i passed a few anglers that were catching odd fish, on went a olive nymph with a long maribu  tail and a long leader after a bit of trial and error i was into fish.

With hands numb and freezing cold i returned back to the fishing lodge having winkled 8 fighting fit trout out.
