Default Monster Fish from Orkney Loch

Thought this quote by Orkney Trout Fishing Association press officer Ken Kennedy would cheer everyone up

http://www.orkneytroutfishing.co.uk/index.html

It gives me great pleasure in reporting the amazing capture of a monster trout caught by a very small boy last week. The trout was certainly a monster for Kirbister Loch, more noted for fish weighing 3 to the pound, this one weighed in at 3lb 6ozs! The small boy was 4 year old Erland Muir, out fishing off the Pier at the Hatchery on Kirbister. Dad Thorfinn, was having a cast himself when he heard the excited shouts from Erland, who had obviously hooked a fish. Thorfinn could not believe his eyes when the trout jumped clear of the water. After a Titanic struggle, the fish was finally netted and a beauty it was, well conditioned, with a splendid colour to it. Needless to say, Erlend is now totally hooked on fishing, as they say, and it is a great example of what enjoyment and thrills our sport can bring, they say every picture tells a story, just look at the smile on his face.

That is cracking news and what a delight for the lad.

I am quite familiar with that pier although when I have visited Kirbister I normally fish the other end.

Great news.
