Freshwater Trips

Well, its been a hectic start to the year, with 30 jobs in 6 weeks! Plenty of fish being caught in the fresh and salt, and heres a few of our highlights so far this year! The hardest worked fish this year goes to Julius, who was desperately unlucky during the hatch whilst practising casting for the first time. The fish had switched off by the time he slowed down enough for the fish to come close, but then finally got hammered close in on a muddler! Another first fish to Pop

First catch of 2026!
