I find a #2 4x long conehead bugger works quite well on many slow pools on many rivers, I'm sure it would also take fish at Haddo, barbless of course and would probably also catch at other small waters :z4

Mike, there is a cross over between small stillwater & running water, general watercraft and thats about it IMO.  From that point only my thinking is the same but methods other than ripping a streamer are not the same really and neither is the fishing for me.

Yes, but I've watched you fishing at Haddo and I know that you do not really enjoy fishing for rainbows :wink

What I have seen from the hut ...... is that Ben fishing with a Woolly Bugger or whatever lure looks bored, or at least not enthusiastic, but on the days when you can see the trout and you target them with size 18 - 20 dries .... you get a twinkle in your eye! :z7

Cheers
Mike

Baz it's Burrator Reservoir on Dartmoor. Its about 100 years old and 155 acres.

It is regularly stocked with Rainbows but the Brownies are really Native/Wild.
