The First Of Many!

After a busy day on a beginner's course, David and Tim dashed to beat 7a on the Tamar to try their luck. Just half a dozen casts later in the tail of Quarry Pool, and David's size 4 Pilk's Bumble was snaffled by something silver...



During the lively fight on the 7-wt sea trout outfit, Tim snapped away with the camera, and the fish tired



Just about fitting in the sea trout net, David estimated the first salmon of the year on the AA water at around 7lb.



Unfortunately, the fish wouldn't keep still for the 'grip and grin' shot, and flipped back into the Tamar to continue it's upstream journey!

Just to top a memorable hour's fishing, David and Tim spotted these characters as the light went. The red deer could hear the camera shutter over the noise of the river at 100 yards!
