Bradshaw Hits the Big Time With Salmon Catch
================================================================================

Fish&Fly's own Colin Bradshaw proves he knows a thing or two about salmon with a
fantastic catch of an estimated 28lb Atlantic Salmon taken during a trip to the
Malselv River near Troms in Norway and made the local news headlines! The fish
was safely returned to continue its migration up river.

Colin has been in touch briefly to say a full trip report will be forthcoming
later but this is his brief summary of this catch that has generated a lot of
interest locally in Norway already...
"In brief 6 of us fished the majestic Malselv River, Troms yesterday. I hooked a
fine fish while fishing the beautiful Boatstoa Pool. Within minutes of being
hooked the guide notified local journalists who then turned up at lunchtime! The
salmon was magnificently shaped with broad spotted shoulders and  fought very
strongly. Estimated at 27-28lb the fish took a small fly with a black 4.5 cm
wing and bright green body. The cock salmon was returned safely."
Congratulations Colin - we're not jealous - much!
