‘It is a baby, man, it’s only about 30 pounds!’
Robin nodded. ‘Okay. Er… John, why don’t you take the tarpon? I haven’t a hope of getting a fly under those trees.’ ‘Like I have?’ John snorted.
Jose grabbed the end of his leader. ‘Leave it to me, man. Just jump in and keep close.’
Jose and John went in up to their waists, but the bottom wasn’t the same as the hard sand closer to shore. Here it was soft, muddy goo, which made movement slow and ponderous. In fact, Robin had the impression of watching two moonwalkers bouncing slowly up and down towards th

With that, Gaurav picked up a sizeable rock and ran downstream, untilhereachedaspotroughlyoppositewherethefishmustbelying.He took careful aim and threw the rock into the water. Nothing happened, so he picked up another and tossed that in. On the fourth attempt the fish broke free and ran out more line, but before Mark could react, it all went solid again.
This continued for some while until the fish eventually broke free. Gaurav came back, shaking his head but still grinning.

Greg nodded. ‘Must have been, mustn’t it?’
The two boys couldn’t get the vision of that great swirl out of their minds. They talked about it for the rest of the day and agreed that they just had to try to catch that fish.
Having read another article on pike fishing, Richard went into town on the Friday and took his pocket money into the tackle shop while his mother was buying groceries next door. He came out with a wire trace and two treble hooks, and a recommendation from the tackle dealer to buy some sprats from the fishmonger for bait.

‘Er… I don’t think it’s a grilse,’ she suggested to the boatman, who continued to hover too closely, as though this old woman might fall to pieces at any moment and need rescuing from the fight. ‘By the way, I’m perfectly alright. There’s no need to worry about me; I’m not as frail as I look.’
The salmon kept fighting, harder than Atlantic salmon in a Highland River, Barbara reckoned. It took out line on long runs, then dived deeply several times and, once she thought she had it under control near the boat, it decided to tear off under the hull so that she

On this particular summer’s afternoon, John made it to the bottom and clambered over a boulder at the tail of a deep pool with the intention of fishing the neck of the next run, which doglegged into a narrow gully of fast water. As he prepared to cast, he suddenly realised that there was a salmon lying on a slab of rock in front of him. It was still alive and flapping, but had obviously misjudged its attempt to run the falls and was now stranded.
John was faced with the choice of either knocking the fish on the head, as many would have done at that time, or r

And then, as the boat entered Malindi harbour and for several hours afterwards for that matter they went into a time warp, as though they had been transported back to the east African colonial era, when this sort of thing would have been the norm. The skipper had obviously used his radio to report his catch well in advance of reaching port, and the quay was crowded with people, both locals and tourists. They swarmed round and there was much excited chatter as the fish were brought ashore and hauled up on the scales, tail first, to be weighed. As expected, th

The Japanese party finally arrived 45 minutes behind schedule, and was indeed the same group from the previous evening. From the look of their condition, they were regretting the fact that they had booked a fishing trip after such a heavy night. They certainly didn’t look prepared for tackling an apex predator out in the open ocean.
Mark cast off the mooring lines and Don nosed the boat out of the harbour. Once at sea, they were met with a heavy swell and, to a man, the Japanese went into shutdown mode, either in the wheelhouse or just lying down on the deck

AMAZING FISHING STORIES
I didn’t see the float go under, because I wasn’t looking. I just have this vivid recollection of a truly violent pull on the rod, the like of which I had never felt before and seldom since. I didn’t see the fish, didn’t even hook it, which was just as well, because I think the rod would have immediately collapsed in sympathy. I was left with a feeling of profound shock, which rolls down the years to me still. I stood stunned, wondering what the hell this fishing lark was all about. My father, a clergyman, believed me when I stamme

O’Reilly walked over to the grate and felt the embers. ‘They’re still warm, so you did stay here last night, that’s for certain, but not with Maire. I think you must have been suffering from hypothermia or something and you were hallucinating.’
Charles stared at him, not taking this in at all. ‘But… but…’
‘We always keep some wood and kindling and matches here, just in case anyone gets caught out on the lough or wants a dry place to have lunch. You must have started the fire yourself. The rest was in your imagination, Mr Cuthbertson, believe me!’

Barry managed to push the eel away and scramble clear. At last, the skipper, toes poking through the hole in his boot, landed a blow on the conger’s head with the baseball bat, momentarily stunning the fish. Making good use of his temporary advantage, he grabbed a longhandled bait-cutting blade and cut through the monofilament just above the trace. He then attempted to kick the eel with his one good boot towards the open hatch into the fish hold.
Unfortunately, the kick only succeeded in waking up the conger, which, now completely free from the line, started

Bola hauled Steve unceremoniously out of the coracle and he finished the fight in pitch darkness on the beach, the hills starkly silhouetted against a brightly moonlit sky. At the last minute, as it was obvious that the fish was exhausted, Saban switched on his torch and there, gradually appearing out of the cloudy water, came the most magnificent, golden apparition.
‘Mahseer!’ whispered Bola in a hushed, reverential tone, proving that he was every bit as awestruck by the sight as Steve himself was. ‘Now, that is a great, great fish!’
The mahseer seemed pe

He arrived at the river at lunchtime, fully expecting there to be so many anglers that it would be difficult to park the car. The reality was that there was just one other vehicle in the car park; perhaps everyone had caught their allowance of a brace of fish and gone home early. That had certainly happened regularly back in the 1960s and 1970s, so John set up his rod with a certain expectancy and took the steep descent to the river.
It was at Overflow Pool that he met an angler who, with a friend, had travelled up from Cornwall. He told John that he had just

‘Christ, Bill,’ Michael muttered at last. ‘I knew he was big, but that’s just bloody ridiculous!’
The fight went on and on, but just when Michael sensed the fish might be tiring, the river suddenly began to rise; the hydro plant had sent down an extra foot of water, so the increased flow turned the advantage completely back to the salmon. It was also harder to row the boat upstream, so Michael took the oars for a spell and gave the rod to Bill.
It was now that the fish, perhaps spurred on by the increased water, changed its pattern and, instead of keeping

brought to the boat that week. The animal ate it quickly on the surface and dived back under. We didn’t see it again, as hard as we looked for it all around the boat. Unbelievable as it seemed in that expanse of water, the otter simply disappeared.
We caught plenty more fish during the morning and decided to go back to the Merkister for lunch, rather than our normal habit of landing on one of the many islands in the loch. There were plenty of people in the bar to hear Geordie’s account of the morning, but it was soon obvious that no one believed a word of it.

Gaurav had thrown his hands in the air. ‘They will never change. Not while they are hungry and they believe that goonch are taking their children.’
Several years later, Mark was perched on a rock at the bottom of a deep ravine, fishing a bait down a long run of fast-flowing, turquoisecoloured water. Gaurav was again his guide, but gone was the previous depression.
‘We can’t fit all the people on the river who want to fish here,’ he said. ‘It’s strictly limited by licence now and we are full up throughout the season. The change has been most remarkable.’

‘Come on, Hughie, just give the bloody thing some welly! You’ve only got two chances anyway, and we’ll die if we stay out here much longer.’
Hughie lent back and bent the rod as far as it would go, and the salmon started to come. For the first time, he felt he had some sort of control over the fish, and he looked behind him to see where on the bank he could land it. The water was now so high that there was hardly any bank left. If he did this right, he could practically float the salmon onto dry land.
AMAZING FISHING STORIES
Then it all went wrong again

At the lodge, he was introduced to his guide, John Gendall, who looked at him and then his tackle.
‘Your camouflage clothing’s fine, but forget the white fly line; the fish will see it a mile off in this water. You can use one of my green lines.’
He was right: the water was brilliantly clear and flowing translucent green from the snow melt in the mountain streams. But unlike the English chalkstreams, there was no profusion of life, no shoals of fish darting in and out of weed-choked channels. Rather, the river was deep, with a gravel bed and a profusion of

‘Who are those … people out there? I take it they are people?’
The ghillie nodded. ‘Yes. Or at least we think they were, once.’
‘Ghosts? You think I’ve seen ghosts?’
The ghillie looked serious. ‘Let’s just say I think you’ve seen something unearthly.’
The story has no definite ending, because no one has ever dared go close enough to the standing stones to find out what goes on there after dark. The locals swear it has nothing to do with the living and, anyway, Peter says that it was not so much the visual aspect of the incident, but the intense men

Whatever the reason, it was one of the most remarkable day’s fishing I have ever had the privilege to experience, and it taught me, if I needed teaching, that catching monsters isn’t the only ingredient necessary to enjoy this fantastic sport of ours.
Even in the most unpromising situations, it is often better just to trust the professionals and go with the flow; sometimes literally. Very occasionally, this results in the fishing session of a lifetime.
almon anglers have a seemingly bottomless pit of excuses as to why they can’t catch fish. It’s either too

Gagan produced a large lump of mutton, which Mark impaled on the hook. They then waited for the fire to do its work, until it was time to kick the remnants into the river, just as had happened yesterday.
‘Be ready to cast out your bait,’ said Gagan, ‘right into the middle of the fish. One of them will most definitely take the sheep meat.’
In went the charred timber and what was left of the sheep, the pungent smell of burnt mutton pervading the air. Mark waited, poised for the action to start.
Nothing happened! The wood floated away on the current and th

The grin widened. ‘You’ll wait your whole life for a day like this on the salmon. Trust me. The wind’s veering into the south and that alone means it’ll be worth a cast or two. Come on now, you’re both experienced enough to fish in this, otherwise I wouldn’t suggest it. It’s just a question of confidence.’
George shuffled his feet, not sure what to do. The whole idea seemed preposterous, and he was completely thrown by Peter’s enthusiasm.

He’d always been a great ghillie for them and was the first to voice his opinions when the chances were zilch. George was convinced they were less than zilch right now, so what was going on?
‘Okay, Peter, we’ll go and fetch the gear, but we’ll only stay out for an hour. I’m not contracting pneumonia on a wild salmon chase.’
‘And I’ll be reminding you about that statement in an hour or so,’ said Peter, a twinkle in his eye and the grin as wide as it was possible to go. ‘So 12-pound casts, please, and only two flies out there today. Something black and flash

As a postscript, Duncan lost another massive tuna, visibly bigger than his record fish, after it towed the boat for 16 miles and he actually had it on the surface ready to gaff. Then, freakishly, the swivel at the top of the trace touched the boat’s gunwale and sprang the quick-release locking mechanism, and the fish was gone.
However, his record stood for a further 20 years, when it was beaten by just a few pounds. And then, in 1979, a colossal fish was taken off the coast of Nova Scotia that weighed a smidgeon under 1500 pounds. That would have seemed an im

‘How big do the catfish go in here?’ I asked, looking warily at the crazy bend in the telescopic rod.
‘Huge. I reckon that one might be 50, maybe 100,’ said the guide.
‘If it’s only 50 pounds, I might have a chance if we stay out all night.’ ‘I meant kilos.’
I was trying to think of a suitable riposte to that when the fish turned and powered away from us again. I wound down the drag on the fixed-spool reel, for all the good that would do, and just hung on. The catfish went further this time and with more purpose, reaching the faster current near the mid

Tom went back to camp, where his hopes of a fishing hero’s welcome were quickly dashed. Julie was less than enamoured at having had to pitch camp and cook supper, added to which she was in the tent trying desperately to free a jammed film in her camera without losing all the images she had taken that day. He crawled into the tent, whereupon he received an earful, especially as he had dragged sand in on his boots and spread it over Julie’s sleeping bag for good measure.

However, the fishing gods saved the best for the last day. The wind was calm and they were able to take a small boat out to an inshore reef, charmingly named ‘Robbie’s Knob’. While his colleagues caught brightly coloured orange nannygai on bottom baits, Martin fished fastmoving rubber lures just below the surface. He was just beginning to think that he had picked the wrong option when, out of nowhere, the water exploded as a queenfish grabbed the lure and proceeded to thrash its way across the surface in a shower of iridescent silver and blue.
