Its all year round here when the leap, some waters don't seem to be "affected" by the acrobatic skimmers, yet others are, and they
are stocked from the same batch. talking of acrobatic fish, I went on an any method trout pool at a fishery in Scotland, I was fishing the pole, I had one or two that launched from the water, but I was using a heavy elastic, it was like bungee jumping in reverse,
I had to release each one at the waters edge,without lifting them out, You had to buy whatever you caught, I "blanked" ,
The bait was sweetcorn which was sold at the fishery, at an extortionate price for a vending machine cup full,I looked for a sign that said "**** Turpin Fishery", at least he wore a mask when he robbed people,
It was only later that I read somewhere that trout have difficulty digesting sweetcorn, yet this place had it for bait.
