My father came over to spend the day with me on the Dee and was rewarded with a fine salmon of around 8lb, caught on one of my Park Shrimps.

It was our only fish of the day , which was frustrating. I had high hopes as the water was at a nice height and there were fresh fish around, but we had one of those days when the atmospherics conspired against us. In fact the fish we caught (we!) was badly wounded near the wrist of the tail and we killed the fish.

Its strange how often that the only taking fish is an injured one.

Anyway, a good day out.
