12lb Salmon


CYNSWIM

Recommended Posts

I began fishing at 3o'clock in the afternoon yesterday.

It was very hot for an autums day and the sun shone down on my back as i span for salmon just under the bridge in crickhowell.

I used a yellow flying seed for the whole afternoon.

I had no bites after about an hour. Then suddenly at about quarter past 4 i had a clear nailing if the seed. The rod flung bent and the line tightened.

I had obviously hooked a fish !

I had to battle with the fish to keep him from not going down stream in a very strong currant.

It took me 15minutes when finally i saw a glimpse of the fish. It was a Salmon! A fine silver fresh usk salmon.

After a further 5 mins i finally netted him !

It was much bigger than i had thought. And could hardly fit in the net ! I got it bankside and gathering all my adrenaline and thoughts I weighed it. It was a massive PB of 12lb !!

I later took it home and it will be my sunday lunch !
