Unlucky there Matt,

I told you it was worth a chuck.

It get's worse Iain, because I thought fishing would be pointless I went comfort shopping at Ben's fishing emporium!

« **Reply #827 on:** 19/10/2012 at 20:01 »

and purchased......

Lots of stuff I didn't really need apart from one of those really slim see through fly boxes for my sea-trout flies.

My first visit to the Don this year

and I caught a Salmon

Rather coloured but a salmon nonetheless

My first 'real' fly caught salmon...... I was targeting them and I was in contact with the fly

Yep the right tackle is all important.......as is the fly, in this case a Willie Gunn tied on a 2" brass tube borrowed from the guy I was fishing with...... which I had tied and given to him some 30 yrs ago

. What goes around comes around

Nice one Pete!

Fished middle/upper river today. Not a sausage! Very frustrating after feeling like there was every chance of a fish.

« **Reply #838 on:** 22/10/2012 at 12:16 »

Well the river and weather look good for a bit of salmon fishing after work, here is hoping I can land at least one before the season is done.

A dull day, but plenty of colour to see on the river today .........................

Shot out for a last chance this afternoon before the weather turns Arctic.
Managed to take this 5lb cock fish on a #8 Black and Red fly. I didn't want to take him out of the water this close to spawning hence the crappy picture.

Nice photos Mike.

And a bonnie wee fish that Irvine. I like the look of a fish in it's spawning outfit.

Nice fish Irvine and a tasteful pic too

Cheers
