Nice report and pics btw ...

I have had some good days ... and not so good days ... I will take a good day over a not so good day any day ....

For the most part im lucky ... its a long story but im disabled due to a Heart Condition .... well my Doctors want me to exercise and eat lots of fish ...
I have always loved to fish ... but since i got sick I fish more than I used to ... I am lucky that they didnt take it away from me ...

So to sum it all up ... I fish often as much as I can ...

Hey Mike thanks for the message, if there is one way I think, I would like to have heart failure, it would be fighting a 40pound salmon. Probably die very happy. I hope you are well enough to go fishing until you are 90years old buddy, and then when your not feeling up to it. Someone else will take you anyway. Hope your heart condition leaves you, and you get back to good health. Those fish are of the salminoid family, salmo solar or salmon. Grilse are just young salmon that have gone back to sea as smolts and returned after spending their first or second year at sea, or salt water. Most of the Atlantic salmon, unlike Pacific salmon, spawn in fresh water and then return to the sea. The first run of the season is usually the spring fish which can be from ten to twenty pounds, average size is probably around twelve(April/May) The next run would be the grilse,5 to 10 pounds, June July. And the Autumn fish would come in late August and September, usually darker in colour but can be as big as the spring fish.Hey keep exercisein and eating and catchin plenya fish pal. Gud Luk MIKE.
