Had a good session today at my local Stillwater trout fishery. I don’t usually fish for stocked Trout but I had that trout itch & the river is currently flooded by 1.2m. Today’s lures used were the Blux Claw 70, FullingMill Sculpin Fly & my Custom Chatterbaits, Inspired by Rawr Fishing & the Mukai B-Chatter.
I was the only angler on the entire pond to catch a fish all day, despite 4 other anglers being there it shows it was a fairly tough day. Those fishing were using spinners, rapalas & another guy was using small area spoons. I let 1 guy take the biggest fish home with him, the other 3 were all released. I landed 4 fish, all nice healthy rainbow trout along with having another 4 come off. Barbless hooks for you 😆
I started with the chatterbaits & Polaris worm trailer. It worked well & within the first 1 hour or so I had 2 hard fighting rainbow trout. I then switched to the Blux Jointed Claw 70, which was the top performer of the day. Despite only landing 1 fish, it was the biggest of the day. 3 out of the 4 fish lost were on the Blux jointed Claw, so hooks maybe need changed out. For the last half hour of the session I switched to the fulling Mill sculpin fly, attached to a 3g tungsten cheb weight. I caught one pretty much first cast after switching then lost another 10 mins or so later. I love BFS Trout fishing!
