The Irwell on steroids

The secret to the Irwell...worms! nothing beats simplicity.
 


Chub around 5lb
 

 
Another silver brownie at 3lb, the colour difference in these trout are amazing.




Yet another chub around 5lb


What a surprise this fish was, an 18lb Irwell common caught on a 3lb bottom, expertly netted by The Meddy Man. It was a true powerhouse made of solid muscle unlike its fat commercial brothers. This river will never stop surprising me!
