Large Yough Brown Trout

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location: Yough

April 21, 2014, was special. Cool morning on the Yough. Nothing rising. I tied on #14 olive woolly bugger and bingo. Largest Brown Trout of my life. 26+ inches and fat. Gentle catch and release. Out of the water less than one minute. Only fish of the day because of my rule--land anything bigger than 20" and take the rest of the day off.
