My first and only brown trout to date, from the New England area last spring. Length was around 46cm.
Nailed him on a small celta. Rod is a 2kg Fenwick spin with a Pinnacle spin reel spooled with 2kg Platypus Platinum. This thing spent more time in the air than in the water. Good fun in the skinny water.
Went back in to fight another day and put some condition back on.

All the best
Dave
