Had to have another attempt after the previous days success. Started at Telfords, loads of follows by 7 inch or so brownies above bridge. Same below until 4th or 5th cast when ambushed by Rainbow. Very tasty fight, fish in top condition. Took a while for proper ID, no obvious pink stripe along lateral line and fish quite silver, almost blue. Once landed, body markings splendid, fins and tail as good as you'll get on an escapee (zoom in to photo), only prob a historical scar around wrist of tail. Completely healed and no obvious impedement judging by the strength of the fight.
