Hi Allan, i think the fact that i was wearing an angled video camera, the light and the angle i was holding the fish does make it look like i was holding it in a 'vulcan death grip' . I can assure you that was not the case so you can sleep easy. I actually moved over to a 'GoPro' type camera so that i can take stills from the video. I find that this way i get the fish back in the water in a fraction of the time compared to if i used a normal camera or phone - as if i was in the tube and wanted a photo i would have to h to land the fish, unhook it , make sure it couldnt flip back into the water while at the same time root about for the camera (without dropping it) , try and get the fish in a position for a good photo etc etc...Using a video means less good shots but i think its better for the fish :Hi James, apologies as i didn't realise you were using a Go Pro on the still shots, thanks for the update.
James,Well done on your fish from the Nairn. I was out with my son on Saturday on the Dee. No salmon but I did get a finnock, 2 seatrout and three brownies. Off out again for my last attempt on the Dee this season on Thursday, hopefully get the right species this time. Eddie
Good luck on Thursday Eddie. I had given up on salmon for the last 2 seasons but I'm thinking I might be back in the saddle again next year on the Nairn. Sadly the season finishes earlier up here than 'back in the shire'
