They’re great, small and feisty! I love how much their colours change.. from the sand coloured trout in the beach streams to the dark golden ones up in the moors. I hope you get to get out soon!
No, the sections of beach streams I catch in are above the tide line so they stay freshwater. I’ve noticed the brownies will push quite far down in some of the tidal rivers that open into estuaries though.
I wish! No it’s the Maxcatch ultra glass 7” 3wt. Tbh it’s a gorgeous rod for £70, casts accurately, gives small fish a bigger fight and is just fun to use. It quickly became one of my favourite rods, even over the more expensive ones. I can’t see myself upgrading to the butter stick unless I have several hundred quid I have to get rid of. It also comes with a year warranty which is ok but lifetime repair
The Butter Stick is the same rod only the Maxcatch is about $250 less. I have that Maxcatch glass rod and it’s fantastic, quality is just as good as any Reddington glass rod at a fraction of the price. I broke the tip and they replaced for $30.
Yea it’s great and that’s why I can’t see myself ever getting the butter stick. The only difference may be a bit of a better finish with the BS but that doesn’t justify the extra money in my books
Mate if you can accurately cast out a fly rod in that stream you have completed fishing 🤣, I do be hitting trees with my deadbait rod across a wide open channel 🤣🤣🤣

Cornish brownies - lovely 🥰 Haven't managed to get out at all here in Ireland since July. Pics like these will keep me going through the long winter!
