That's a lovely fish bro well done!
My rigs vary depending on the target and water height, in coloured water targeting salmon I use my spinning/bait rod with 9/10/13cm rapalas (Fin Minnow 🇫🇮) blk and silver are my go to option,

I sometimes use these called flying condoms, they're fairly effective and easy to loose in snaggy/unknown water they're only a couple of quid each.

When the river/s are running at normal levels I use my fly rod with 1 or 2 flies 1 on a dropper about 2ft from the point fly tied up with ± 8ft of 10/12lb nylon (for sea trout)

I also fish for brown trout ^^^ that's my best wild brown trout to date, I didn't have scales but I estimate 4lb ±.
Lol I didn't land any salmon that year but that trout did take the sting out of that, I was beaming with that one (8ft 4wt rod) 😄

Rainbow trout are good for when the rivers are too low to fish it gives us somewhere to cast a line but tbh i feel more at home on the river.

I've a few random fishing pics to share.

Omg I can still feel the thrill of that one ^^^, I'd fished for like 6hrs caught nothing then landed two salmon in 10 minutes 🥳

It was like 3 in the morning I'd fished from darkness not much was happening then this mother grab grabbed my fly woohoo!!

Take it easy folk's 🍻
 
Are there any other anglers out there besides myself and Doublej ?

Fishing appears to be popular amongst us stoners?
I'm guessing the the peace and tranquility it offers attracts us, deep down stoners crave peace, I think fishing is therapeutic it's an opportunity to forget problems for a while, fly fishing in particular demands lots of concentration and/or observations.
On the other hand you can go and drown a worm and enjoy the weather, banter and sit back with a few joints or/and beers whatever floats yer boat 😍

The USA is a angler's dream it's got most species of fish most folk's would want to catch, the downside in the USA is absolutely fricken massive you might need to travel a couple of thousand miles to target a particular species lol.

I like the USA and how patriotic you guys are, that's something to be proud about, props to the US patriots 🇺🇸 🫡

Horsehair worm they're parasitic nightmares to insects.
20250615_153333_1.gif
The larve are ingested by insects then feed off their host until they're adults, allegedly they can/do make their host seek water in which the adult breaks out to breed and start the cycle again.

i hear ya man, i didn't even start a garden this year.. never found a break in the weather to really start. my main plant supply closed up a few years ago and now plants are way more expensive to get, i was way late and never started seeds so i just bailed for this season. i'll just eat more meat this year and less veggies!!! hehehe

I just put my clones out last weekend~!
On most years I would say I was way too late but this year I am not sure I did not do the best thing in waiting.
 
We had more rain through the week the river is at a nice fishing height.

I went out on Wednesday night but didn't catch anything or even get a tug, I went back last night for another try and landed a nice sea trout.
20250703_194332.jpg
Not a record breaker but it's a tug and the tug is the drug!

My hip/leg hurts I'm having trouble walking especially in wet wading boots.

I seen these and thought aye I'll try them they're really light and they have felt soles 😍

Man I hope you are safe.
I have seen some bad flooding happening in Texas today.
Click to expand...

It's really bad and tragic and still not over.
A lot of very bad news will happen today. The worst any parent can imagine.
Hug your kids folks and hug everyone you love today.
If anybody here is of the praying kind, please keep Texas in your prayers today.
