I covered a salmon that showed below the bridge . On the second cast it took . After a very strong, nerve racking fight I managed to net a pristine hen fish of around 15-16 lbs . Whilst holding this hen fish , in the water, prior to release , another salmon showed . I didn’t manage to get this one .
I also caught a cracking trout on the salmon rod .

Conditions were against us from the off, very strong winds almost gale force winds at times and very heavy rain showers on and off with hail stones and sleet at times.
Temperature was 3 degrees at 10am.
Fished ledger at 20mts 15mts 10mts and short at 5mts, with different hook lengths at each distance.
Not a single nibble ( only nibble was on a sarnie ) on worm, tried a spinner for 20 mins same result nowt.
But it was a nice couple of hours out with my 8 year old grandson.
