Great achievement there ! Your gear seems exactly the right combination for the results . Spotting those tight swims is one thing , fishing them effectively and reaping the result is quite another.
Congratulations CC

Thank you OMR,

The combination works very well for me and the type of water I'm fishing. The river was still pushing so with a 14g lead it allows me to flick out the bait into the main flow which then bounces it to where I want it. So long as you get the right angle on the flow, it will place the lead exactly where you want it.

I mainly fish those non cosy swims, there's a good chance they may be lurking very very near to the bank.

I can imagine the rise in heartbeat that would set in when the landing net tangled, it always happens at those critical moments. Superb fish, write up and picture. Good old Chapmans.
