........that there are no large Brownies on the Dee?!!!!! Whilst Sea Trout fishing on Monday night (that's another story) I caught this monster Brownie. I have never in my life seen such a fish in the river It was returned unharmed and measured 24.5 inches and was estimated to be approx. 5lbs in weight!!! At first I was slightly disappointed that it wasn't a Sea Trout but on reflection I have to say that it was a fish of a lifetime. I wonder how many others lurk in our waters?!!! Chainman

Well Done ! Didn't know there was a brownie over a pound and a half in there . Did you touch any sea trout ? I did get 2 Sea Trout and lost 4 and had several countless pulls......incredible really and I keep telling people that the river is full of them but nobody listens . I had to tear myself away from there at 2.45am because of early morning commitments the following day. This was one of the Sea Trout and was 3lb in weight.......the other was a similar size: - Get out there and fish for them folks.......you won't catch them in bed!!!! Chainman
