- getting cameras in place without scaring all the fish off
- batteries and tapes running out before catching a fish
- composing the shot without knowing just where I'll be standing when I do catch a fish
- the weather
Having got very wet and having accepted that I wasn't going to get any good footage I decided to start fishing in the rain. I flicked a gold head nymph just upstream of the fish; the bigger one gently opened it mouth and took it. On my little 7ft light rod and 2lb leader this beautiful 3/4 lb fish put up a right scrap. I put him back and 5 minutes later caught his slightly smaller friend. This would have looked great if I'd caught it on film. Still came home with a big grin on my face.
