Cargill beat- River Tay springer from a couple of weeks ago

This is a pic of a springer i got a couple of weeks ago before sending my camera tumbling to the depths of the Tay. Recovered my camera today after 10 days and a spate and it amazingly is still working. It is supposed to be waterproof but that is impressive. The fish was hooked on a monkey in the garden pool and weighed in at 8lb.

Was lucky enough to land a nice spring salmon today on a monkey fly. It was hooked in the garden pool. During the fight other fish started showing in a few moments of activity. We also had a Kelt and Jim Davidson lost couple also on the fly. Sorry no photo as my camera went for a swim after taking the snap.
