ROCKBOURNE TROUT FISHERY - Hat Trick plus a another mystery species…

Rockbourne trout fishery

Stalking was tough due to winter low light conditions and we had torrential rain and flooding all that week which left a slight colour in the water! So the plan changed on the day for just stalking to different methods blind stalking, stalking and fishing a gater bug under the bung all did the job
And and added bonus of getting a spartic a rainbow and brownie resulting in a rockbourne hat trick 👌🏻

What a Stunning brown Luke… Rockbourne looks so different in the winter, a simply superb fishery, run by a passionate who put everything into providing us with great sport. Well done all.
Another great video Luke

My fave fishery - I have had lots of doubles out of Rockbourne. This time of year I would have my low light glasses on but stalking is best from April - June at Rockbourne and winter is pretty much blind fishing. As you said I would put 95 percent of my trout back if I had the option to do so…good stuff

Great video Luke, never fished Rockbourne as it's a bit too far for me, it's a lovely looking fishery. I'm off to Avington next Saturday providing the lakes aren't frozen!

Any pics of the gater bug fly or materials used

I would argue that brown was a specimen solely based on the quality of the fish itself

I know they're stockies, but it seems a shame to kill that Brown. Stunning looking fish.
