So here's one I caught a few years back on an Irish Shrimp Fly, fished off a full floating line. But the line was so old and battered, the tip was sinking. Ergo - a sink tip. And that's fishing.

Here we are then in 2021 and we would all like to catch a post-covid salmon, wouldn't we? I know I would.

The grilse below engulfed the tube into the gills and despite returning it he went 'totally un-returnable' so he came back to the Logie log hut camp to supplement our supper. #howtocatchmoresalmon
