Top morning with a cracker fish but hailing outside now!

Went out this morning for a bit of a fish and had a stellar morning playing around 15 or 16 trout ranging from 1 pounds to this one here of around 8 or 9 pounds which after its first sizzling run I thought was going to pass the magic 10 pound mark. Called my guiding mate Mike Burgin up and he wasted no time in getting there and hooked into several in no time at all. Am sheltering from the hail storm inside my house now and am going to tie flies for the busy summer ahead.
