Where - Wooden Bridge to Ele's Hole

Total - 3

Fairly typical session for time of year & conditions etc. Connected with excellent example of the Salmo Trutta coming in at 11 inches on the measuring tape. Twas such a nice fish I've added two photos profiling both flanks.

Note the vivid red on the tail and adipose. It emerged from quite close to the waterfall.









There were another couple of fish trying to jump the waterfall, nothing over 9-10 inch.
