[The Jester]

Me and Big Tel fished the Derwent today, in glorious sunshine . I had the bag limit and Tel had 7 , biggest fish was 4lb 2oz and tell had one over 3lb. All fish were on bait apart from one which Tel got on a Black and Green Fritz .
Very few fish rising so most of the day was spent ledgering.
Well done mate, 2nd trout on the fly and your casting is coming on great....
But i got the biggest again...

You always get the big fish on the boat, so at least let me get them on the Derwent

Give it a go Deano, it's a cracking place to fish, wish i could afford a house up there..

welldone on the catches,yous have definatly had the weather for it!

[andydurham]

Great catches lads.

I fished over on the meadow on the fly and got a 3 pound 8 ouncer. Certainly wasnt the weather for fly fishing, far too bright and hot. Give me a cool slight breeze day any day over yesterdays bake-a-thon I only lasted 3 hours before I was burning and went home :P

Sounds like ya's had a canny day out well done lads.

[The Jester]

Thanks for the replies lads, it was a good day and the first time i've had a bag limit in 3 years of fishing the Derwent. Still would'nt mind if i blanked, it's a great place to just chill out..

[eddie t]

Aye ya not wrong mate it a crack spot.

[Rayo]

Well done sounds like a great day

What kind of bait were you using ?

[The Jester]

Orange powerbait and worm, then dropped down to just powerbait as i was reaching the bag limit and still caught one, so dropped down to just red powerbait and still got one....so any bait really...

[eddie t]

That's all ya need worm and powerbait it does the bizzzzzz but ya can catch ya bag limit to quick so it pays to take a fly rod.
