Urban Trout - Syon Park, London


Recommended Posts

Paul is fly fishing for Trout at Syon House. Originally constructed by Capability Brown in the 1760s, the six acre lake is regularly stocked with rainbow trout from Albury (and brown trout in season) of an average weight of 2lb 8oz up to in excess of 10lb. Paul uses a floating line and presents an olive gold head to tempt the rainbows. During this 2 hour session Paul gets remarkably close to a Heron and spots green Himalayan parakeets flying over the lake. Besides the amazing bird life he manages to catch 4 beautiful rainbows. He shows you how to "roll cast" when trees do not permit the normal overhead cast. He also demonstrates the back ward cast in windy conditions.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OxZQ6Fup70
