Meon Springs
Fished Meon Springs yesterday. It was my first fishing trip in the UK and my first experience fishing a managed, stocked fishery. Went with Tero Rissa who got this excellent 6.5 pound hen rainbow trout. A good place to take someone flyfishing for the first time but those stocked fish behave very differently to wild ones. A bit like shooting fish in a barrel though, think I'll try Grafham Water next - at least you can see it on the map.
Here are some pictures. Ate the fish with Prof Wayne Luk and my ex-students, here are the pictures.
