12lb Tay Salmon

Mr Andy Kerr with his biggest Newtle Salmon. Andy caught this fish in the Boil on Saturday morning. He also lost another fish in the Boil. Whilst playing the fish, one of the canoes taking part in the Tay Descent came to close to Andy's side of the river and managed to hit the line with their paddle. I know that most of the canoeists adhere to the instructions given to them before they deploy but some of them just show a blatant disregard to anyone else using the river. Tough luck Andy, we could have had 5 today......
