With calm tides few & far between the fishing has been hard. Lots of early mornings with no joy. But at last Martin cowered a fine fish in "The Gut " as the wind swung around to a more favorable quarter.
12lb which won him the Bob Leonard cup for the first salmon of the season , this will also be a contender for the Doug Brown shield for the biggest fish.
