First Fish For Chris

This was the first brownie of the 2010 fishing season taken off one of  the Drummond Estate boats by Chris Thompson from Blackburn, Lancashire.The 2¼lbs fish was taken on a trolled 28g lure just past the Edinample Burn on the south shore on the 20th March 2010. As you can see from the hills in the background there is still a fair amount of snow to come down.Water temperature of Loch Earn is only 2C at present and is the lowest recorded for 25 years.
