Brown Trout Between Milton & Deddington
A Memory of River Swere.
Many times I have caught wild Brown Trout between 1999 and 2012 on float fished worm in the Swere, running light leger or small lures under bushes and trees, between 1/2 lb to 1.5 lb. One time a minnow caught was grabbed by a trout really hard and it pulled the rod right around. They are well fed, healthy and hard fighting and taste good, with near white flesh.
The best I have heard of was a 5lb Brownie at Barford near the road bridge by Mikey when he was young. He Joined Adderbury Morris later. It was probably a cannibal trout to grow that big there. Contrary to some views, they do exist.
