here's a link to one I caught, back end on the R. Endrick - should have used the rod instead of the camera !!

Altmor,

That's a good picture - I know how hard it can be to catch one on camera there!!! It's easier with the rod and line

I used to catch them on good old fashioned camera, but have struggled with digitals - press the button, fish goes back in the water, and ages later the camera finally responds

It's the Pots of Gartness in full flood in my avatar.

Cheers,
Gary

Thanks Johnmac and Fruin, I must admit, I was there a while - hypnotic, watching the water surge over the falls, broken now and then with leaping salar !
I did recognise your avatar Fruin, I've seen the "pots" a couple of times this backend in huge spates - an awesome and powerful sight ... I wonder how many made it over the falls this season.
