I fished the Ythan today.
Used a size 12 double (stoats tail I think) on the 5wt as the river is small. Hooked a salmon on my second cast and it took off like a bullet. Was on for about 30 seconds and spat the fly out onto a bed of weed
I fished for about two hours after that and got a few good pulls but also got a brownie of about 1lb. I have fished the Ythan for brownies for the last few months and have found decent ones few and far between. Its wierd when I have not targeted them that I catch the best one I have had on this stretch.
I have no pictures as the phone was left in the car.
I will be back on Saturday as I am off to Birmingham tomorrow.
