Try something black - fish slow and deep. Please let us know how you get
on.

I lurk in this group and pick up advice...........

My club has a dozen hill lochs for brown trout and with the season being
closed I headed to its one rainbow loch. I fished 'something black - fish
slow and deep' and on my 2nd cast caught a lovely fish of a 1lb. The club
only stocks a few hundred fish for the winter season each year.

Pleased I fished on and nothing else happened! So I switched to a floating
line, 3 flies, 1 diawl bach, a buzzer and a goldhead montana nymph and
fished them statically. Success! Caught my biggest fish ever ( remember I
normally take wild browns...) of 3.5lb! I guess its a grown on fish from a
previous year's stocking. Wahay. Great thing is this season I've caught 87
brownies, and these two rainbows... all for £50 a year!!

So 'something black - fish slow and deep' is good advice, buts so is the
static nymphing!

That was the general idea - couldn't agree more.
