First Salmon Hampshire Salmon
I fished the Hampshire Avon yesterday starting around 2pm.
A wee bit of casting practice then changed rods - AWM 14'9" 10/11 with Loop fs head and 2.5 inch plastic tube.
Three casts or so and saw surface movement and jag jag, fish on.
I'm afraid it was a difficult battle, high river, net miles away, fish too big for salmon net, but I landed it - twice.
It looked thick of shoulder, perfect tail, strong, small head, but grey more than silvery blue, and 36 inches.
No pics, I got the hook out, and rolled it straight back where it swam away.
I have afib so had two bouts of hyper ventilation in battle and thought don't let me catch another today, I was absolutely wrecked for five minutes.

A nice start to your season friend,
I'm sorry about your being light in the head, but your reward was worth it.
Thanks for the story,
