graham,
i really enjoy fishing for wild browns throughout our season here in ireland.we finish in about 10 days time.but fishing for bows in the winter gives us a chance to tye wierd and wonderful creations and at the end of it a much better fight than our brownies..this is true no matter what anyone says..i have caught fish to 16.5lbs bows of course but i reckon for agility and pure power fish (triploids) in the 3-6lb class are unstopable.......
looking forward to the cold winter and playing with boobies of all colours and sizes...........
regards,
denis
