Hi All.

Went out to day for a few hours, river slightly coloured and still high, but it was a good 5 fish and this little one, 48cms , 2 3/4lbs.not th best photo, doesn't do it justice.

Hi Bill

No it isn't that tree it is another one

The funny thing about it is, I took a South African gent out over Christmas and he got broken by a good fish, it broke the leader taking 2 flies with it, which I wasn't to pleased about,quess what one of the flies was still in this fishes tail, suprised me as it was a knapec barbless, but it was one of my flies, so Konrad if you look at this site , the one that got away, well from some of us

It's a disgrace to post pictures like this when no ****** else can get on the river! Do you ever catch any small ones?
