Beautiful fish!
That's the same campsite Neil and I fished for the FFF this year. Unfortunately, it's one of the only 2 campsites with decent bank access. Look up our pics under the First Fishing Folly thread. There's some beautiful campsites there, but the ones with lakeside access are usually a straight drop of 6 or 8 feet to the water or no clearance for casting.
