my first Verdal salmon!

I'm extremely fortunate to fish for salmon in Norway for a week every June. I fish the River Verdal, at the Tingvoll Lodge, near Vuku, with four other anglers. The beat owner, John Olav Odren, and Gary Scott look after us all, and when I say he "look after us" I really mean it. Nothing is too much trouble and they help to make it an utterly fantastic week. This year I managed to catch a couple and lost one I never saw. I caught this one on a big snaelda from the middle section.
