My trout pond

A nice 5lb + brown trout caught by me on a lure at the end of the season 2009

The biggest brown trout that we have stocked was no bigger than 2.5 lbs.
So this fish must have been in for a few years.
The big browns are seldom caught until late season.


I belong to a syndicate who have the lease on a 7 acre pond south of Edinburgh.
Fishing is mainly by boat-but there is a few spots where you can fish from the bank.
The pond has its own wild brown trout and we stock twice a year with rainbows-blues and browns.

When the rivers get hard and fish are scarce its nice to be able to pop down and catch some big fish (though never guaranteed) but my heart is in river fishing,especially the Clyde.
