wild brownies ( trout )I don't know whether you can see all those rings in the water which is where the wild brownies are rising but what what I want to know is how do you catch the bloomin things !

if there on the surface feeding you need to find out what hatch of fly there is and match it with the artificial equivalent.

A traditional device known as the "otter" . Made of wood . looks like a catamaran about 18" long with wire along each side . Attach line to wire and walk along the bank . The otter planes away from you , out into the lake , like a kite only horizontal not vertical . 15 or so wet flies dropped from the length of line nearest the otter . A local favourite . Highly illegal so don't do it .

An interesting device  I would like to get a look at one of these if anyone knows a web page . I have used an Australian device called a Kon Tiki for beach/rock hand lining. As the name suggests this is a small raft with a sail which takes out the bait and sinker to the required spot. Obviously we need an off shore wind to make it work. This all fits into a back pack which is great for clambering over rocks etc to reach that favourite mark. Good luck

It is not as if this gadget is used to catch fish of a significant size or in waters where the removal of a few for the plate would make any difference other than to the person who is scratching for something to change a monotonous diet . Burgers and chips can get very boring .
Not sporting , tho , and not legal but then not much is these days .

This forum doesn't condone anything which is immoral or illegal but eating burgers and chips is really out of order .
Well , once or twice a week might be ok but anything more than that .......
