I was guiding this young lady on her first ever outing with a fly rod. She took this fish on her third cast - a beautiful wild rainbow of 12lbs.

I told her most trout anglers would fish a for a lifetime and never catch a trout as large as that, if she wished to keep it I would fully understand.

She told me it was far too pretty to kill, then returned it to the water.

I have caught several trout that have been bigger, the largest a little over sixteen pounds, but my achievement was never as great as that of young Sally.
