Esimating weight when C&R

[corsican dave]

i'll chap one of the skinny ones & have a look-see

one in better condition today. i'd have said this was over a pound, but the tale of the tape tells it like it is. 14" at norm to good makes it roughly a pound.

I'd have called that 15" looking at the tape.

So nearer 2 lb   :

i hadn't realised the tape doesn't start at 0..... doh!  :roll:  and there was me thinking i was pushing my luck on 14". thanks for pointing that out  :lol:
hopefully i'll get to see the other end of the tape on Gran Canaria next month

Nice fish.

I didn't get to CraigE this weekend due to the 'elevated' winds on higher ground saturday and rain on sunday, wife had other plans which I was happy to go along with.  Don't think I'll get to it now this year, so a target for next.

PS: We've finally decided our date for upping sticks and moving to Aviemore - a lot earlier than originally planned - Spring 2019.  So will look forward to much more exploring of waters in a couple of seasons.
