Big Brownie's On The Test
I wondered if anyone can help, I was fishing the Test on Sunday and a friend
(not me) caught a 91/4 lb Brown Trout out of the Kimbridge Gingerbeer Beat. Does anyone know the record for that river? Jon |

Does anyone know the record for that river? I hope he put it back :-) Might be better kept - most at that size will be cannibals. Most brownies here go over somewhere around the three pound mark. Generally they get up to about 4-5lb and then go back. Most of the ones I've caught have been long thin and toothy but only around 2 1/2lb. About now when the minnows are spawning is the only time you ever see the real big ones. The record here (a somewhat lesser chalkstream) is over 12lb btw so I'd expect the test to have grown them bigger. On the Test there is a high chance the fish was a stockie. Cheerio, -- |

Big Brownie's On The Test
Just to let you know what happened My friend with the full knowledge of the Ghillie from Orvis decided to take the trout and it is now being mounted in a case. He will not let us forget and has even threatened to have it placed in our local!! "Derek.Moody" wrote in message ... In article , W. D.
