Last Seasons Salmon

[MIK 4,763]

Still not manged to hook a springer yet this season as the water has been to high on our lower beats allowing the fish to progress to beats further up stream ....most of the snow melt has gone just small drifts in the back corries .

heres a few fish from 2013 season the worst I have seen due to the driest conditions I can remember ....you had to stealth fish with light tackle and small flies as the fish were very easy spooked still manged to get 20 but nothing big and loads of very small grilse just above the pound mark .

Had some great sport on the 6' #3 rod with the finnock loads about over the pound mark and great seeing them chase the fly in the clear water
