Mink and a Bar Of Gold

I spent half an hour watching a mink hunt tonight. I've only ever caught fleeting glimpses before. I'm not sure how I feel about these animals as they are an introduced species into the river ecosystem.

 

The fish didn't want to know this evening, normally even when I can't get one to stick I get the occasional strike or see a boil as a fish turns away. I couldn't even spot them rising to take off the surface which often helps with location. Eventually found this fish just off a fast piece of water and saved a blank.

 

 

 

Like a bar of gold.
