having never salmon fished before.
He put on a fly having just learnt to cast a double hander
& on his third cast caught a 13.7lb. sea-liced fish
which took half an hour to land & almost emptied his reel!
(see pics below).
Another 11.4lb. fish & a grilse this evening - both on fly.
Total rods for the day was just nine and 5 fish taken including four double figure fish.
The total number of fish caught for June is 48 for 138 rod days.
Total for the season to date is 81.
Prospects
The river is in perfect fishing order especially for the fly.There is little or no rain forecast for the coming week, and we have spring tides peaking at 4.0m from Monday to Wednesday. This should encourage even more large sea-liced fish to move in.
We have availability of fishing and accommodation for the coming week.
