On Monday it was opening in the river North Esk. Jim Fisher fished with us. He had the biggest salmon on the opening day in river Tay and the biggest on the opening day in river Dee. So he was now going for the triple – for the biggest salmon on the opening day in North Esk.
After a opening ceremony where we drank half a glass of whisky and poured the rest into the river, as we said a few well chosen words we started. Some of us fished at Gallery and some on Pert. I fished Gallery. It rained and rained and the river rose and rose. Got a couple of kelts, but no springers. At lunch time the river was flooding so big that we had to drop all fishing for the rest of the day. And Jim did not manage the triple.
So we went to Fishers Cottage, packed and headed for the river Dee.
