World Record Trout

It seems September 2009 is living up to the months reputation for producing truly huge trout. We are seeing some brutes starting to move, a couple of clients already having encounters with double figure fish. This all looks good for the autumn/winter fishing to come.

However nothing quite compares to not one but two potential world record breakers caught within just days of each other.

On 5th September a potential new all tackle class world record rainbow trout was landed from Canada's Lake Diefenbaker just a year after it produced the previous monster rainbow. See the photo's here.

The on 9th September the all tackle class brown trout world record was smashed by a fish of 41.45lbs from the Manistee river, Michigan. Images and full story here.

While details of the rainbow's capture are sketchy as yet though it was not on fly, the brown took a 3.5" black and silver plug. Now get those bait fish patterns out and hit the water (as if you need further motivation!).
