It's a monster!

I went fly fishing on the River Yealm with Paul Kenyon on Thursday. The weather forecast for the day had been awful all week but it turned out just fine. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I managed to catch my first wild brown trout and, as you can see (if you look very closely), it was a real monster! This is actually pretty much the size you expect from these rivers, so we are not going to get fat on them. I had four, altogether.

This is a lovely stretch of river and it is only a couple of miles from the A38 at Lee Mill. Higher up, there is a fantastic bluebell wood that I just had to take Diane back to see.
