Avon Calling!

I had a most enjoyable Saturday morning at Avonhead Upperton this morning.
I caught my first ever Tiger trout and I must say they are beautifully marked fish.
Also fooled a rainbow trout too. Both fish took an Orange hothead damsel. I also lost a good trout after a brief scrap which the fish won and left me frustrated on the bank!
My friend Iain and his son Martin also got in on the act with five for father and one for the son! 
All in all it was a great way to start a Saturday!
