Gordon, that's amazing. I think I will pour a wee dram to toast your achievement!

Sadly not mine BS, my pal Charlie, who spends a lot of time on the river and was due a return, landed this wee beastie on his fith cast of the season
But enjoy the dram anyway.

There's nowt taste's better than a wildie you've caught yourself.
Must be 20 years since I caught one but I still remember it like it was yesterday, the fight and the resultant supper.

Nice fish.

I'm sending the photo to a mate wheo just yesterday came back from a week in Ireland without a bite. Again

Six years he's been paying £700 a week not to catch a fish.

Cruel.

We never seem to get any big fish like that over here on the Wick river, I was given a 7lb salmon by my neighbour - that seems to be a decent fish for us. But it's good fishing, plus we get a lot of Sea Trout in Sinclair Bay that are heading for the small burn up to Wester Loch. Good fun.

I've never caught one, though.

Thats an amazing fish, better get the fly rod out and head up to the lake myself soon for a spot of trout fishing ... you never know I might actually catch one this year

I caught a salmon about that size in New Zealand, wasn't that hard

Tried various baits without success (fished for over half an hour without result), but eventually settled on a lure replicating a feeding pellet (did I not mention this was on a salmon farm?).

The effect was impressive - a single cast with the lure and the water was boiling with fish - could have walked across the lake on them.

I'm reliably informed by my fishing-mad brother that this doesn't count as proper salmon fishing.

Lovely springer there, tail like a shovel. I've a day on the Ridge Pool on the R. Moy soon, but there won't be any of that size there
