Andrew Ferrier Perch. Andrew didnt think he'd ever beat he PB perch but he proved himself wrong last week. After a slow frustrating day of little perch here and there added frustration as my boat partner caught 3 x 40cm+ perch including his 45cm 3lb PB then Andrew hooked into this pig. Using a ned rig lure that had been in his box for years but hadn't seen the light of day until recent trips when he saw leeches in the water.

Logan Hodgson Aged 15: Logan caught his first ever Salmon on Wednesday 28 August fishing the Junction Pool of the River Isla and River Tay at Meikleour Fishing. Logan aged 15 caught a 23 lbs salmon on a Rapala lure in a very high water and after an outstanding fight the fish was netted by Ghillie Calum McRoberts. Logan followed up an hour later with a lovely 17 pounder from the Castle Pool.

Edmund Williams aged 5 who caught his first conger eel on a pulley pennell rig using a prawn and Sandeel bait in Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. The eel was approx 2lb in weight and released.
