00:00So today it's the opening of the salmon fishing on the Mighty Tay, which is the first of the

00:07four big rivers in Scotland to open. So I'm hoping today might be more successful, I might have some

00:12more luck because I've been having some lessons. Claire gave me a few lessons last year, the year

00:17before, and Tom Brown, a redoubtable casting expert and supremo, gave me a lesson yesterday.

00:24But I have to admit I'm slightly nervous about casting because I'm certainly not an expert

00:28fisherman, much better poacher, but I'll give it my best shot. And tight lines, gentlemen.

00:35Good luck to you all on the first day. And ladies, I do beg your pardon. Oh, cardinal sin.

00:42Get rid of that man. Thank you very much. And shortly the river shall be open for sport.
