The adrenaline buzz

So I wanted to give you a nice picture of a perfect summer fish [from a previous year's report by the Spey Fishery Board] and also to say it is to celebrate a fantastic recent week's fishing on the river Spey. Also to say I have been dipping into Jock Monteith's fascinating blog at 

https://www.salmon-fish-scotland.com/Scottish-Salmon-FishingAnd here's a taster of Jock's evocative writing by way of a quote:

The Natural Buzz Of Catching A Salmon

"It takes hours and sometimes even days to come back down to earth after you treat yourself to some 'Salmo Salar' adrenalin and often it will put even the most accustomed recipient into a floating state of euphoria such is its potency power. For those of you who have experienced this unique high then you'll understand exactly what I'm referring to and for those who haven't then get with a professional salmon guide who's talented enough to help you put the ball in the back of the net! Salmon fishing 'escapism' is a powerful part of the attraction of salmon fishing in its own right but you need to score a few quality goals now and again to 'seriously' get the other half of the bigger picture!"
