First salmon 2012

A quick post to announce the first salmon of the season at the Arundell Arms. Caught yesterday by regular rod, David Chapman. In his own words....
"8.10pm, salmon approx. 7lb? (couldn’t get the flipping scale net to work, its seized up, obviously don’t make enough use of it), 1 ¼” copper tube carrot-coloured fly on fast sink tip line. She went like hell in all that water but finally managed a bundled landing. Fish went back very strongly, angler needed lie down. Happy days. Dave"

We currently have superb salmon fishing conditions. The fish will be few and far between at this time of year, but what quality fish...
