After the milder weather yesterday and rain the river rose overnight from 2 feet to nearly 4 feet and was slightly coloured first thing in the morning. We still gave it a go.
James McKay hooks a good fish but was it a springer? The Salmon fought very hard and ran all over the Ship Linn pool of the Benchil beat just below Stanley, Perthshire, Scotland.
Alas it turned out to be a 16 pounds Kelt in very good condition. Shame for James who thought it was a good spring salmon as it never gave up. This salmon would have been a healthy 20 pound salmon plus when it first entered the river. Hopefully it will survive and come back again as possibly a 30 plus pound Tay Salmon.

it wont come back as a thirty pounder because the four seals i saw fishing below perth at the harbour (and catching and eating fish yesterday) will gobble it up!
