My first day out this week continued my run of losing good fish, this one was the fish of my season, hooked under the rod tip in a wee pot of a long set of Rapids, after its initial jump it took across the rapid & round a boulder, my 8'6" just couldn't lift the line high enough #ping 😢 I know where you live now boyo 😉
Next pool produced this wee fish with funny spot pattern, didn't make up for the heart ache though 😂

My I phone effort at these fashionable but awkward 1/2 & 1/2 photos 😂🙈 (see the bottom photo🤔)
Today I had a few hours after the rain yesterday, not much happening on top, but the 2nd pool gave up this one

Again I fished a wee run i usually wander past, hooked this on the crease & what a fight for a 17" fish, mainly because of the current, but landed it about 40 yds down stream, what a gut it had on it

Back into the same spot & hooked its brother, I decided to try & bully it into the net, missed my first attempt & the klink caught on my cuff & ping went the tippet 😤
Anyway tomorrow's another day on another (free) beat 😂 It's all who you know in this game ..... 😉
I'm sure it will produce a 🏆 Or 2
