Hi Paul – soory for the late reply! There wasnt an official weight but approx 7.5lb big hook jaw! I have seen what i think was an even bigger one a year or so ago – but due to diffraction ect it’s difficult to put a figure on it. I would push the boat out and put it into double figures though! The River Aire has some very big natural fish in it now – on all the local Keighley, Bingley & Saltaire lengths. Trout and Grayling are becoming specimen size. I personally have trout in excess of 5lb and Grayling pusing 2lb and above on a regular basis at the said venues. There are not many waters in the country that can claim this – and Im still in disbeleif of what the Aire (as a once “dirty” river is capable of throwing up. Just goes to show that combined efforts over the years have made the Aire a formidable place to fish. The introduction of Barbel is also a great thing , and I am sure we will see the river going from strength to strength over the coming years.
