I'm a complete amateur bait fisherwoman, so layman's terms please! Would like to fish in the River Kelvin, which I hear has brown trout and, sometimes, salmon. I've heard that to land a bigger fish, you will need to tire it out or "play" it on the line before reeling it in. Generally, I don't fish for keeps and I like to release my fishies, but if I caught one big enough, I might consider keeping it for dinner. So, how do you play a fish, or is this advice total bollocks? Maybe if one of you guys/gals have fished in the Kelvin before, you can offer some sound advice. Many thanks in advance.
