Pretty carp

At the other end of the spectrum… caught in a ditch by the side of the A9 not far from Dalwhinnie. Stopped for a break, had the rod in the car, thought ‘why not’…

Salmon parr

Salmon parr

I wondered if it was - but I’m not confident with my fish ID.

Are you certain?

Unfortunately not with the rod but had the usual Xmas day walk down the river with the missus and found some spent salmon.

This one was into the 20's and hopefully has done it's job.

Some people don't even know there's chalk streams in Norfolk
Grayling are a pretty fish, don't fight like a trout but called "The Lady of the Stream" for good reason

I am, they’re quite different from a young trout.

We are blessed with a few chalk streams in Norfolk... a beggar of a job getting to fish them though

I tried to catch a Grayling when I fished the Clyde for an evening... no luck for me... I was literally out of my depth at one point

A very long lived species, I believe, and a native to America. Lovely fish.

A very long lived species, I believe, and a native to America. Lovely fish.

Also excellent table fare. A firm white flesh more like cod than carp

We really like to brine then smoke and it can then be used as a substitute in Cullen skink
