I've been up to my old tricks again, creeping about in the undergrowth I was down in the soggy south during November and during a rare spell of low water I spotted this pair of fish spawning on the river Yarty in Devon. The pictures don't show what I'm on about as well as I would have liked but the clues are there... Andy

I am thinking that is two Cock salmon? Hen fish don't usually have as many spots, I thought
I suppose with all the fuss about the Gay Marriage Bill, the above is nothing unusual.

There were several cock sea trout trying to spawn with her but the salmon was having none of it and kept them well away from the redd. I was there for an hour and they were clearly spawning together and there wasn't a hen salmon to be seen anywhere (the Yarty is only a tiny river, you can see every inch of the pools). There was also a cock grilse trying to get in on the act. Andy
