what a day I've had. I had a real red letter day on the river, decided to go for a cast when I got home, within an hour I had four fish and a sea troot, 4lb, 5lb, 16lb and 20lb. The latter was my pb and 1st that weighed in the 20's!!! Interestingly all were cocks. also had nice wee 3lb hen sea troot, needless to say I'm pretty chuffed!!!

Well done Blair,
Get the photo of the big one on the gallery - it's a real achievement breaking the 20lb barrier.
Great stuff

Cheers Graham the amount of fish running was amazing to see especially when most of them were very fresh and some very big ones as well. this week saved me a blank for the season finished with 10 for the week between the Spey and the Dee ;D
