I read that book (was it Roald Dahl - Danny the Champion of the World?) and it was a great story.
And it was just that, a story. I'm thinking the Shaun version smells of mucho BS.

Pulled that off once, with a Chum. But I didn't 'tickle' him, just casually slipped my hand into the
water and grabbed him in front of the tail.

When trout bask, they are usually near the edge of the water, and only a few inches below. If you
ease your hand into the water, palm up, underneath them, they tend not to notice. You then stoke
thier bellies, front to back, slowly and very gently. This sorta shuts them down, trances them out,
and they gradually roll onto their sides. At this point, you throw them onto the banking and beat
the life out of 'em. Poachers have been doing this since before history.

That's the one! Excellent book indeed.

You are _dead wrong JH. Trout tickling, is an 'actual factual' working practice. Check into it if
you so desire.

There is another method decribed by the late Sheridan Anderson in his book, "Curtis Creek
Manifesto".

Err, it had something to do with cooling your hands in the water, then slowly moving them from
behind, bring them along both sides of the fishy, and gently grab the little darlin'. Works best if
the fishy is in a lie that blocks it's upward view. Or something like that.
