I'm not a fan of stockie bashing so i change my tactic(imatative) to get the over wintered fish....
The rainbow is not a stockie as you can tell by the fins and stomach content and the lack of fat in the stumach.
OK the brown does look like a stockie but it must have grown on for a while and the was no fat in the stomach.It seams to have damages to the tail but it put up a great fight.
Q.What fly and line did i use?
A.It was a Rutland Water hi vis yellow floater and 10lb sightfree 3G as for flies.......it was all own my own tyings like black buzzer,PGB nymph,yellow owl nymph,green flash back diawl bach,yellow owl hopper and yellow owl shuttlecock cdc.I used 9.5lb riverege grand max for dry fly fishing.
