Had someone told me when I was forty years of age that I would be attending the opening day ceremony of the River Thurso one week after my seventy second birthday, I would have laughed at them. Today, I had that privilege. It was, as ever, a well attended event and it was lovely to see so many familiar faces. it is not my place to tell who cast the first fly etc. and I am sure that this information will be available through the usual channels. The weather is very open so a fish could be taken quite soon.
