7lb Tay Salmon


3 generations of anglers out in the boat today. Grandfather Harvey Burnston and his son Martin along with grandson Jake, all played fish. Alas we only managed to land the 1.
This fresh 7lb beauty from the Cotter was landed by Martin and is his 1st ever Salmon. Harvey lost a good fish from the Alders and Jake lost another from the Cotter.
The other boat also lost a fish from the Cotter....
The water was still very dirty and sitting at 3ft 8 this morning. It rose 2" during the day but cleared a little. Looking good for the rest of the week.....At last
