SALMON TODAY

Lovely salmon there tote.

Personally i reckon spinning is the most difficult way to catch salmon, i cant seem to catch a bloody thing on it, ow give me a fly rod and my self confidence is far higher.

On the fly for the thrill, it's the uncertainty of whether you will get it into the net.

 

Cleek (scottish gaff) is used to provide one for the pot. Cocks only OK.

 

Myself I prefer to eat a Sea Trout if they are being cooked in the kettle (didn't want to say poached). Smoked, bit brown bread and some lemon segments to squeeze over it got to be a big fish.
