Adam F Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 Needed to get a fishy fix today regardless - so with the sea fishing all out of sorts and with Gordon justy having taken up fly fishing, we took a trip out to Holbury Lakes in the Test Valley for a few hours. Not cheap at Quote

Fugazi Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 With a hundred worms to drown and a hot tip that Southbourne beach was fishing well for bass following the beach reclamation operation we set off for a few hours. Wind SE 5-6 air temp 3 Quote

daviduk Posted March 14, 2006 Report Posted March 14, 2006 Hi Adam This is a venue i always found excellent for Trout Fishing My Webpage Quote
Swainiac Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 Hi Dave, long time no see, thats a pretty well priced fishery. Are the fish in good nick, or fat and sluggish like most stockies?? Rich Quote
Adam F Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Posted March 15, 2006 Thanks Dave - Rockbourne is only 5 mins from where I live and I have fished it many times. I like it - 6 lakes, all different. Fish go into good sizes regularly and are not too fatty - they alos have a lovel orange flesh, not pale like alot of stocked fish. Adam Quote
Paul J Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 i fancy an evening trip in about a months time Quote

Manic Moore Posted March 17, 2006 Report Posted March 17, 2006 That's not anything to do with lifting shirts is it Quote
Swainiac Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Only if youre not wearing velcro fastening trollies PJ, I snagged a five and half pounder the other day at Anthony's, cracking fish, went back into the carrier. Rich Quote
daviduk Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 hi all Havnt fished Rockbourn in at least 4 years ,but when i use to reguarly very few times did i not come away with my limit. What i like most are the lakes being crystal clear generaly ,thus enabling you to stalk individul fish. I could not fly fish a coloured water and just trust to chance . It is great to put a fly past a fish several times and have no reaction then chage fly and bang in one it takes it. Quote
