Had a go on the ythan today, upper beat. Forgot my wading boots so it was waders and wellies which was a bit of a squeeze. First cast hooked and landed a finnoch which was a great start but unfortunately it must have been a fluke as didn't get a touch after that. Met a few guys worming who had tales to tell of salmon into the 20's they had caught and returned recently. Would be some buzz hooking a fish that size in a river the width of a car... Might be digging worms myself next sat morning
I won't, but even before I met those guys I was thinking how perfect the water was for worming tactics. Haven't fished worms in 20 or so years but its how I learnt to fish and in a river similar to the ythan.
By the time I had worked down to the car which prob took an hour and a half my feet were pinching a bit in the wellies and Heineken cup rugby on telly won out.
Still was lovely to be on running water again with the small rod.
