Hi Robert, James is my brother and couldn't make it on this trip, it was amazing though thanks, Alex

@@jpsflyfishing ah apologies Alex. Well done on those fish, incredible stuff 👍

Thanks Peter, the funny thing is the trout were eggs transported from the uk in the first place! Interesting story worth reading in to

@@jpsflyfishing yes I am familiar with the story of how the sea trout were introduced to this part of the world. Paul Young did a great video down there and caught a sea trout of around the 20lb mark, well worth a look!! Given the dearth of Atlantic salmon here in the UK now, wouldn't it be great if the compliment could be returned!! Cheers and tight lines, Peter.

It’s on a beat called Forve, tickets are available at the petrol station next to it. Enjoy your trip

Lazonby 👍🏼

Thanks mate, it was a day to remember!

Glad you enjoyed it, she's catching more fish than me nowadays..

Thanks!

Yeh, I think it was a decent size, we are off again but to the Gaula this time in June so fingers crossed for more chances..

Thanks, it was a day we won't forget in a hurry

That's interesting, I'm guessing some of the deeper holes were filled in during said flood. Here's hoping for some decent catches this season

Not really, the deeper part out from the whitwater moved a little and changed the current in the entire pool and the salmon didnt like it. The huge stone between the shelter and the rapid wasnt like that earlier and that caused the problem imo. We couldnt see it earlier and now it's above the surface @@jpsflyfishing

That’s salmon fishing, I think if you get half the fish you hook to the bank, you’re doing ok

The dog would love nothing more haha

Ah brilliant, which beat were you on? We are heading back this summer but on the Gaula this time..

Hi there, what a place to be! Those RJC rods flex right in to the handle yet still manage a tight loop, we mainly use them cause they're awesome to fish with rather than out and out casting machines.

Cheers Mike, hope your well, have you seen any fish spawning by you?

@@jpsflyfishing all good up here. Not came across any salmon spawning yet but hope to. Tight lines for 2024 James and Alex . All the best .

Thanks James, easier to edit like that as well haha

@@jpsflyfishing Thank you for taking us to the river with you. Can’t wait for our next adventure together :)

Haha, this tickled me.. very true!

Only...."did you bring lots of whiskey" ?

Haha, so true... first cast as well

Thanks Robert, they were few and far between but good fishing at times

Thanks, great CZcams name (last cast any method) btw, made me chuckle 😂

@@jpsflyfishing lol thanks mate it’s just something every angler say right last cast lol and I’ll do fly , spin, bait anything that catches fish 😂thanks 👌

I think it was around £1200 per person all in. Organised ourselves and some shared costs like rental car and accommodation.

Yeh, there weren’t so many this year but some great condition fish when they did get caught..

Lot less here in Norway too but the big trains like the Orkla and the Gaula wich are my home rivers had very little dip in catches compared to most other rivers so i am still happy even if concerned about the deminishing stocks in general.@@jpsflyfishing

Yes, it was great and the level seemed ok to us, although we were told it was considered low water. We are both hoping to catch a famed Norwegian monster but will have to wait until next season 🤞🏻

It was a bit less salmon this year and VERY few big salmon as the year before was a grilse year, this year was a medium size year so next year we are supposed to see a lot more 20+ salmon so time will show if the cycle is normal or not.@@jpsflyfishing

@@MrKveite1 I hope we get better seasons all round next year, 2020 was a good one so we should start to see some returning Salmon from that over the next few 🤞🏻

Thanks mate, it’s great fishing, can’t sit to get back there next season!

@@jpsflyfishing Have you ever tried Stjørdalselva? That is my river of choice since 2020. Extremely good deal per number of pools vs. price. Plenty of salmon.

@@paweltt no, I’ve only fished the Orkla abroad and most of the UK Salmon rivers.. I would be keen to visit more rivers in Norway though, the quality we’ve seen so far is brilliant. Where do you get tickets and info, Elveguiden?!

Thanks Richard

Thanks Mike, the Dee is worth a cast if you ever get chance although it’s had a poor run of fish this year. I hope you’ve been getting a few fish and are making the most of the final weeks of the season. All the best

Thanks Romain, most of this is using a Mackenzie 7 weight rod with a gale force equaliser line, fantastic line - I really rate them.. the rod is brilliant too 🙂

Hi Bob, it’s the Cumbrian Eden. James

Thanks man!

Yeh, I agree.. the take is always the best but these videos are often 10 hours of fishing condensed in to an hour of filming and 10 minutes of video so I usually miss the take. I’ve got a few decent videos of the take of fishing on the Dee but will try and get a few more. Tight lines, James

Thanks Robert, she’s having a great season! Hope you’re getting amongst a few fish too? Tight lines, James

@@jpsflyfishing nothing yet, heading up to Deeside again in a couple of weeks so fingers crossed for a fish or two 👍

A few different rods featured from 13'6 to 14'9 but think the smaller of those were the main ones we used on this trip.

Thanks Andrew, she’s having a great season after only starting fishing in ‘21.. massive black and yellow Snaelda doing the business, I was also surprised she caught one as I was thinking at the time it’s border line fishable, it did clear later on a touch but the day after was probably the one to be out on ideally.

Thanks Donna, glad you're enjoying it, tight lines.

It’s Makerstoun, I love it there, great ghillies managing the beat and the pools can be technical and varied

It's the next one down stream - Makerstoun

@@jpsflyfishing lovely beat, Ian and Colin are guid lads.

@@billytheghillie yeh they’re some great lads

Thanks Mike. Hope you’re doing well? Al said you’ve got some perfect conditions right now so I’m hoping you have the chance to get out and catch a few…

Conditions looking really good water at good height think I'll try across the road tomorrow and Friday on the naver. Good to hear from you hope to see you soon. Congratulations on the addition to the family.
