Fishing an extra day at Banchory on the River Dee I finally caught an Atlantic Salmon (a Grilse - a salmon that returns after only one or two years in the ocean).
That first salmon...pulse racing...and a marvel at how they return from their Atlantic journey. My first ..from the sister river..the Don..on a cold March day ..no not on a fly..another good tradition lure..the Devon Minnow.. We didnt return them in 1982!! What pattern was it on. My first fly caught one..on the other Dee..in Wales...on a old fashioned Borders fly..the Brown Turkey Get back in...safe wading for number two. Simon Artley Manchester
Excellent work! Jordie will have been delighted!!!
Congrats Mark, you’re definitely hooked now if you weren’t before 🙂 first of many I’m sure.. tight lines
Thanks and good to hear from you. Now that the curse is broken maybe I can see a few more fish in the net.
