A 15lb Salmon From The River Dee

My good pal Charlie Robertson landed this cracking salmon from the River Dee at Carlogie last week. The fish took a size 10 Editor fly in the stunning Jock Rae pool. Here's hoping there are a few more like this one about when I'm fishing there next week.

No shortage of feeding where this salmon came from!

12lb Salmon From The River Dee

I had an hours fishing on the River Dee yesterday and was rewarded with a cracking fish around the 12lb mark. It was taken on a full floating line and a 3/4" hitch tube. This was my first success using the hitch fly having lost a grilse the previous week. What a buzz it is seeing the fish take the fly off the surface and then all hell breaking loose! I'll definitely be using this method again.
