Hello Robert.

Super shot and really love the enviroment in this one with the dew grasses and the light on the water.

Good exposser with plenty of detail in the Heron and the backlite coming through the fishes tail and fins.

Fairly certain it isn't a pike John. Some fishermen colleagues suggested it's a game fish of sorts because of the adipose fin.

Lovely back lighting and catch adds considerable interest.

Great action - looks like a trout to me (adipose fin and spots!).
