The Secret Life of the Sea Trout

Fish Behaviour

Fishing|Judd Ruane|January 31, 2018

Happy Anglers

Fishing|Judd Ruane|May 3, 2017

My old buddy Francis Loftus (effectionately known as the Fat Yank) has a saying… “all anglers are liers except you and me. Now I’m beginning to wonder about you!” I don’t have a scale on Pegasus so if someone asks the weight of a fish I give a ‘guesstimate’. As a kid I would wonder …
