Opening Day At Rutland Water

It’s opening day on Leicestershire’s mighty Rutland Water, so Rae Borras heads out for a spot of loch-style fly fishing for Trout with Bob Church, Craig Barr and friends for another episode of The Game Fishers Diary. With over 3000 acres of water and 25 miles of coastline, Rutland is one of the biggest reservoirs in Europe. For that reason, and the quality and quantity of its hard fighting trout reaching 15 pounds, it has earned its reputation as the Wembley Stadium of UK fly fishing. After a history lesson from fishery manager John Marshall and fly fishing fanatic Craig Barr, Rae heads out on the water with the legendary Bob Church to get hooked into some feisty, fresh Trout. This is British trouting at its finest.
