Further sightings of salmon this afternoon.  This time at the lower end of the marker pool.  This creature was about 6 to 7 lb and running up river in a good flow.  Rob S tells me that he also had eight fish in two hours around the Tay Bridge beats. 

It would seem that the mink have moved up river and one has been spotted near the Tay bridge.  I am pretty certain I know why they have moved and it's nothing to do with my abortive attempts to trap them.  The reason is that the Pipe pool where they were resident is now home to another creature, a native of our rivers, elusive and quite capable of seeing off a family of its cousins.

No blog tomorrow as I am having a minor operation on my left eye at Bradford R I so provided that the NHS doesn't manage to fire the laser right through my brain I will return to the fray on Wednesday.
