Ian Mitchell with his 32lb fish caught in the River Conon, (September 21st in the Junction pool of the Lower Fairburn beat). The fish was measured at 44 inches long with a girth of 22 inches \u2013 understood to be the heaviest caught in the Easter Ross river for 35 years \u2013 the 2019 winner of the prestigious Malloch Trophy.<\/span> <\/o:p><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Mitchell said: \u201cIt was a day of bright sun and unseasonably hot at 23C \u2013 very difficult fishing conditions. However, as I was fishing close to the spot where I had caught and returned a 20lb salmon the previous year, I persevered and was rewarded with what is clearly the fish of a lifetime.”<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
