A day of brilliant sunshine and a fish from Tollmuir Pool

Today the sun shone all day long and the snow water kept coming. In these conditions, with the water temperature rising, there was always a good chance of a fish. The water was hardly fished in the morniong but this afternoon two of us covered the main pools for what almost certainly was a transient run of fish stopping for short periods in their migration upstream.

This 9lbs fish came from the dub in Tollmuir Pool and was caught by Derek Strachan.

Our sixth salmon in March 2011. A nice steady start to the season. It looks as if April and May will be rain-dependent (yet again)
