I hooked the Salmon of a lifetime, can I catch it?... Let's find out!
This time of the year I like to hang up my Pike&Perch rods for a couple weeks and undertake some of my favourite fishing I do! I travel for hours up North on this trip each year but I did not imagine the results to turn out like this!
Enjoy! :)

Lovely fish lad, they'd been in the river for a wee while judging by the spawning colours on them but still a fantastic catch, good to see you putting them back as the eating is better when they are bars of silver, I always put coloured fish back no matter the size.

Jeezus 👀..... I'm also from the Lake District. In the heatwave of '76 we witnessed runs of salmon in the estuaries that were a major local event... dogs were picking them out of the pools as well as locals, and each year attracted lines of serious fishermen from south of the border in Lancashire, who fished under the viaduct's main span in 80 degree C heat. And then it stopped. Tragically. So seeing these unbelievable fish you caught is surely an amazing sign that the salmon runs of old could return again!

Aged 12 Mum & Dad bought me my first 9ft Trout Fly fishing rod and a day permit for the River Ericht at the The Grange stretch near Blairgowrie and my first fish a 4lb Salmon that was probably returning after just 1 year at Sea. What I remember is having no control at all with line whizzing off as the reel screeched with that Rod bending like crazy. Fortunately it was well hooked and not my expertise that saw it landed or rather beached some 20 mins later as I didn't have a net M&D probably didn't expect me to catch anything. Happy days that you never forget.
