  • Back Lake East of Galveston

    Went on my first flyfishing trip in Scotland at Haddo House Lake. This place is chock full of double-digit rainbow trout up to 20 lbs.

    My goal for the day was to learn how to cast a fly... let's just say that I need more practice. Anyway, I caught a few, including this one that went about 6 lbs. My buddy caught a 10-lber... biggest rainbow I've seen in my life.

    Even through the frustrations of limp lines and short casts, I had fun... but nothing beats topwater fishing for specks.

    Tight lines....

                    First trip, hopefully you'll have several opportunities to a redo there. Looks like a great time. Thanks for the post!

                      Thanks for sharing..nice fish. My father's parents came from Montrose, Scotland on the North sea coast. They loved being on the water and fishing. I guess that's where me and my 2 brothers get it from. I would love to go to Scotland some day.

                        LMAO...... I knew you would find a place to fish up there. Not to worry about the Trout down here though, I have been taking real good care of them in West Bay lol.

                        Congrats on a nice Trout
