Can you remember the first fish you ever caught. Mine was a perch out of a wee pond where my grandfather took me . I was using a lengh of cane made in to a rod and a cheap wee reel from woolworths and i went on to catch hundreds of perch and troot from the burns with it I have owned some of the most expensive rods available and yet my fondest memories are of that wee rod my grandad made for me . What was your first fish and how did you catch it scotty

A brownie of about half a pound from a lovely pool on the river Urr. Caught it on a match rod with a quiver tip inserted that my uncle made for me on float fished maggot. I also caught my first salmon on that rod from the same pool on a silver toby with a big lob worm on each of hook of the treble.
