Salmon season starts ... but there's a catch

A young girl became the first catch of the salmon fishing season after she became tangled in a net.

Kiera Gowan, two, from Pitlochry in Perthshire, was given a taste of what it feels like to be a salmon at the official opening at Kenmore on the River Tay.

The light-hearted moment came as anglers lined the banks at the ceremony, watched by around 100 people. The first cast of the year was made by TV presenter Cat Cubie.
