do you lads that go fly fishing for trout get as much satisfaction out of catching fish that are stocked by man into small waters as catching fish that are naturally occuring ?
just wondering since although fly fishing for trout is a branch of the sport i\'ve never tried, i do quite a bit of pike fishing. now i mainly fish for pike in large to huge lochs where they are naturally occuring and enjoy it immensley getting a few really good fish but having to wade through dozens of jacks to get the biggies. i\'ve also tried piking in some tiny waters where the pike are stocked and the chance of a huge pike is a very real possibility, however the appeal is simply not the same and a big fish from such a water simply doesn\'t mean as much to me personally.
not trying to diss anyone for what they enjoy, whatever floats your boat, but just interested to know what others think.
 
This is where I fish - 25 acres of great trout lake:

On a 5 weight trout rod the sport is fantastic and the fish go up to 16lb. All of my fishing here is from the boat and I love it. My first session here a few years ago resulted in 14 cracking rainbows up to 2 1/2lb caught during May on goldbead orange fritz stripped quite quickly. Not matched it since!

I used to fish a series of very small lakes near chesterfield that were owned by a trout farm (and they stocked them with the old cock fish). It was OK for a while but it was just a bit too easy.
 
It\'s Walton Hall trout fishery in Wakefield:

and the Hotel is the Waterton Park Hotel. I had the good session around the back of the hotel where there is a narrow jetty. There is a deep channel that runs from the small island towards the island that the hotel is on which can fish well, and in the top left hand corner of the photo you can see the lake narrows.

This leads to \'The Net\' where you occasionally hit a big one (and lose it), and I\'ve also had a number of pike from this area. There are some big pike in here that are never fished for. Once saw a huge one swimming under the boat with a big trout hanging sideways out of it\'s mouth - reminded me of the way a dog carries a newspaper.
