The John Brough Hollow Built was Nyukon today

It has been so long since I went to my favourite fishing ground. The river welcome me with a hugh peacock bass. But teased me by having the peacock bass bite on the bright yellow heat shrink tube which I had used to cover the end of the fly line loop. Then the same fish took away the peacock bass which I caught before I could bring it up for a photo shoot.
Finally got this small fellow as the fish which nyukon the Brough rod.
