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.
