I've been fishing since I was eight, and smoking since I was sixteen, so inevitably, most of my fishing has been done high! I have two or three rivers available locally that hold brown trout - two tiny rivers (3m width), and one 'normal' (10m width) size. The season opened recently, and I'm heading out shortly to try them out - the floods last year wrecked a lot of the river fishing for a while, but the trout should be OK. However, I don't fly fish, so just adapt usual 'coarse' tactics - legered minnow or worms. Floats aren't allowed during the non-trout close-season, but trout being trout, they're easy to catch with these methods.
Don't have many pics online, but this was from a day out on a Trent weirpool last year - moored over 20 feet of turbulent water, we caught something like sixteen barbel up to ten pounds right under our feet - and they don't half pull back in those conditions, high or not! This one was six pounds four ounces - about 2.85 kilos:
Collingham by any chance? Got to love those trent barbel and carp!
All i do is work and fish and im loving this thread!

Nice Super, I went out tonight also, nothing great tonight, a few small bass and some nice bluegills, no cats, no walleye! Just one of those nights. Always better than being skunked though.

Damn....Those walleye sure are pretty fish. Never caught one, heard that they are excellent table fare.
I'm to far south for them or smallmouth. But we do share a few species.....Crappie, although we call em Sac-a-lait......as well as Largemouths and a few different catfish.
I've always wanted to tangle with a huge musky though.....that looks to be a kick in the ass. Gotta be one of the baddest fish in fresh water.
