Henry Giles caught this fresh 6 1/2 lb salmon on the Ryehill beat of the upper river south of Sanquhar. The fish took a siver Rapala fished in high water in the Woodend pool on Monday October 27th.

Henry told us that earlier in the day he saw an angler on the opposite bank land a silver 15-pounder, also on a Rapala, so there were fish about.
