Report: An absolutely marvelous weekend. One of the most beautiful fishing spots imaginable. Ross hooked a beauty at our lunch spot but unfortunately lost it. Dave landed a nice Brown Trout at around 4 pm just after it started raining - made for a tasty appertiser at dinner with a squeeze of lemon. Both fish hit Rapala CD5 lures. Witnessed a medievel battle in the camp site on the Saturday night. Great photography by Willow.
