Found it ..... Hamish with a lively Haddo trout from one of the 'coracles', on opening day at the fishery back in 2002

[Euan Innes]

Hamish and I ended up that day targeting big doubles.
One fish of about 13lb was surrounded by 8lb tiddlers and looked like an aircraft carrier with a destroyer escort. 

Mike, do you still have the photo of me and H being towed down the loch? Considering the total weight of two chaps and a boat that was one heck of a fish. Again, 

 

[Mike Barrio]

That was another day Euan and a heavier boat ...... I'll have a look to see if I can find those pics later

The above photo is of Hamish catching the very first fish at Haddo and on dry fly too

Cheers
Mike

That was another day Euan and a heavier boat

And that would be confirmation that I am getting older and more senile

Mike, we rally need a 'Bust a Gut' emoticon !   

[Rob Brownfield]

I am guessing you are fishing an area with "hard" water judging by the state of the river you are standing in
