Grilse Run Steady here at Delphi

There were five landed today. Heribert had our once in a decade fish from Duffers run, weighing in at 6lbs1oz on a Willie Gunn.
With broken weather forecast over the next few days it bodes well for our new arrivals tomorrow, so we’ll just have to wait and see how it transpires.
