12lb springer caught on the fly | Dochfour | salmon fishing Scotland 2024 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Local angler Neil gets his 2024 season up and running.
With an air temperature of 12 degrees and a water temperature of 8 degrees, the prospects looked good. A north easterly (upstream) 10mph wind meant that there was a significant chill factor and a requirement to assess the actual wind direction before each cast, as there is a tendency for it to swirl and blow intermittently from the opposite direction.
Another tide fresh salmon in the net and another angler off the mark. Happy days ;)

Cameron, your clips especially the laugh at the netting of the fish make my Sunday morning. thanks John

[@CameronChapman]

Delighted to hear that John, thank you very much for your kindness, it’s much appreciated. A very strong fish that spent nearly the entire scrap with its head down amongst the stones trying to shed the hook, so you can imagine how delighted I was when at long last, its head eventually popped up onto the surface!

That was a very nice fish, not a mark on it. Beautiful fish. Well done that man and well done to the gillie for netting it. fresh off the tide would you say Cameron. What happened last week Cameron. was there no fish caught?

[@CameronChapman]

Cheers Brian, I couldn’t agree more, definitely a pristine bar of silver, fresh off the tide, you can see lice on its back as it swims away. You’re spot on about last week but it was actually worse than no fish landed…..! No fewer than five fish hooked and played but they all dropped off at the net. Thankfully, I was lucky enough to be on holiday 😂🤣🙈

[@clarkson7777]

@@CameronChapman Ahh that's reason no fish landed. The expert better was not there.
