First one this August


It's not a silver fish but it is fresh into the river. Its maybe been sitting in the tidal water for some time, marks from sea lice were evident below the vent, all the same its not in the same condition as the fish i got at end of May.
A Brownie from the Clyde




Decided to fish the Clyde for Salmon this year, although i have been warned that a lot of it is combat fishing. I guess it depends when you fish but on my second visit i hit this 4lb 7 oz Brownie. A shame to take it, although it will be well appreciated, i like fried trout. Thought i was into my first Clyde Salmon, what a surprise.
Forget about Rowbank

 
14lb Spring Salmon, from the Black Cart at end May 2011. Stunning fight, super fresh, a privilege to catch.

MARCH 15th ROWBANK

This picture is in colour

Great day if you like to fish in whiteout conditions. I got a pull in the morning , maybe 11 ish but that was as exciting as it got. Saw a total of three fish rising, there were a lot of small buzzers on the water despite the snow, although only a very few fish were picking them up. Everything  I had  on my line, even the illegal flies, were ignored by the fish that I saw rising, which were all within easy reach of the bank. I guess the water was really too calm so, the only way would have been to fish fine.
