English man Tim Smith was introduced to the river Laune some years
ago, and having fallen in love with the river from the moment he set
foot on its banks, he is now a regular visitor.
Tim,
who is Editor of the British Angling Magazine, Today’s Flyfisher,
paid his most recent visit to the Laune this April and was
rewarded with a freshly-run salmon on the Johnston Fishery. Tim
sportingly returned the fish to the waters of the Laune.
When
asked how he would describe the river Laune, Tim had this to say . .
. .
“It is an intimate river, easy to fish, has lots of character, great
variation of fly pools, is set in a beautifully scenic location and
I just love fishing it.’’
The
welcome he receives from local anglers is another reason why Tim
keeps returning.
“Every time I visit the Laune, I feel very welcome and the local
anglers are very accommodating,’’ says Tim.
