New series Salmon record for Pete 172'  This is especially impressive as only one month ago, Peter was almost disabled following surgery to correct whip finishers wrist.  (happy this time McCallum?  :z4)


Apology accepted Ben  :z4 :z4 Twas a well timed, if rather lucky, throw with the wind catching it beautifully  :z12


Some pics attached

















Did I say it was WET  :X7

Why not use a float tube, you won't need to cast so far to reach the end of the tape!  :X2

Pathetic, both of you  :z4

yup, pathetically warm and dry... I did look out the window a few times, shaking my head, muttering, "madness...". Good effort getting out there!

I'm afraid I will not be able to attend the final event next month either  :roll
There's a memorial service on that day to commemorate the Coastguards who died in the Kessock Ferry disaster of 120 years ago and as the senior officer in the area I need to be there.

Great fun this afternoon, wind was most unpleasant at times (unless it was in your favour).  Some really good casting today, Pete and Dan were outstanding with the DHD  :z16

We all threw the T38 today at the end for fun, not quite sure how much fun it actually was but it does go a long way on the odd occasion you can hook one up without twatting yourself.

Results from today


For those that made enough sessions to place, overall results are as follows, we will probably have another get together in a few weeks once the weather settles a bit.


Top three distances / scores in each event from the series


Average Distances for those who competed in four out of five events, again these are rounded to nearest foot.


I've included Peter in this as his average distance over the three events he attended was rather impressive  :cool:



Cheers

Ben

Edit - Revised points for overall result, doesn't change placings
