What a great water Kingennie is for a venture when the rivers are in sulk. Fished it today as part of the troutmasters heats. Fancied a go as its something I’ve never done before and I ended up winning!!

Turns out the Epic 476 can land 14lb rainbows.. I’ll take that 



A photo for scale, a huge lump indeed and returned for someone else to enjoy 



The bend in that Epic says it all 



If your in the area or fancy a venture down to one of their luxurious lodges.. give it a try

Sure did Mike, always great to be out on the water and when the big ones play its a bonus! That smallstream on the 476 is a dream come true, thanks a lot for that!

I was there the other week for a natter about the coarse loch they have recently re-opened.

Interestingly the chap said they were not stocking big trout anymore...if that's not a big trout, I wonder what used to be in the Boathouse pool?..lol

I did have a wonder round the coarse loch for a look, I believe its jammed with roach and some decent perch but I’m not really clued up on coarse fishing as such!

I believe the boathouse pool used to be named the “specimen pool” where trout of 5lb minimum were stocked in it before they then changed this due to costs etc. That fish I caught on Saturday was stocked last october so maybe they call that a small trout

I used to fish the carp water when it was there and I got a call from an old boy fishing the specimen pool.

I thought he was having a heart attack as he was sweating, really strange colour and breathing hard. I was really worried!

Turned out he just needed help to get his 4 fish to the office. Not a single fish was under 20lbs!!

Rather nasty end, being dragged along the floor with a bit of old twin through their gills

Meanwhile, I landed 4 carp up to 18lbs and all were lovingly returned

Do you reckon there is still big carp in the pond?

There is...left over from the last netting. Idea is they will be moved to the coarse pond eventually, but they are not wanting a "big fish" water, just a place for people to have a bit of fun.
