Took Bo my labrador down river with my rod and shot gun.
Looking for ducks while having a fish.
I hooked a trout with a 7gm toby lure and as it was fighting and doing areobatics a parry drake flew down river towards us.
I dropped my rod and grabbed my shotty from off my back and held my foot on the rod to stop the trout from pulling into the river.
Fired a few rounds and dropped the drake.The dog didn't know whether to retreive trout splashing around in river or go search for the gamebird.
By this time my shotgun was on the rod to stop the trout pulling it into river while I commanded Bo "Go Fetch!"
He found it and brought it back.
Now it was time to leave the gun on the gravel and get back to the fish.
The trout was still fighting and hooked well,didn't take long to reel it in after all that comotion.
Definitely a first for me shooting a duck while a fish was on my rod.
