I don't think there are many on CZcams that catch as frequently as you do, Senan. It's a testament to your fishing knowlege and skill. Well done! Garrett
Thanks Garrett, I reckon the more time anyone spends on the water the better the results will be, you get out of it what you put into it, I’ve always looked at fishing that way 😅🎣
Definitely a Salmon Parr!
Great fishing, well done lad.
Lewis
Thanks Lewis, cool little fish to find ☺️👌
I’m getting back into fishing after 20 years so really appreciate the great tips
Brilliant, glad to hear you’re back fishing 👌
Excellent !
Thank you !
Parr, April is the month for them as they come down the river for the sea
Ya for sure, they are so nice to see !
Ended up buying an ultralight rod for myself after watching this video, great stuff Senan! 😁
The ultralight stuff is hard to beat 😁👌
Great video Senan,that little salmon at the start was class to see.
Such a cool little fish !
Seeing that pipe discharging into the river makes my blood boil. As if there aren't enough dramas with our waterways without that crap. Keep shaming them lad. Awesome video as usual. 🤙🏻
Ya it’s definitely something that gets under my skin too, it’s hard to hide it on the video 😂👌
Class video very educational
Thank you!
Savage video, ordering a new rod for the trout season as i type 😀🤣
Always nice to get a new rod to try out ☺️👌
Hi, nice session. I have a farmhouse with 32 acres of paddocks and some open land drainage didges and some pipes going to a small feeder river. But it is purely excess water drainage from otherwise water - saturated land. No fertilizer, manure or anything is put on these fields (we only have 2 horses for a hobby, so no need to overdoing it). A lot of large and small scale farming can indeed be bad, most farmers don't care what ends up in the ecosystem. The farm we bought has lots of plastic, glass and all sorts of crap dug in. Every time we want to plant a tree we dig out this stuff. Just for them to save a bit of money for not bringing it to a Civic Amenity Recycling Site. And there are 4 farms around us where old cars and vans are just dumped in a field waiting for the next owner to sort it out...
Hi pal, im sure there are some brilliant landowners, I just hate to see pipes going into rivers, I reported plenty of them last year, county council don’t seem to care nor do the fisheries board, yet they will pretend to care when there’s a mass fish kill of wild fish on a stretch. It’s just a pet peeve of mine, im just highlighting it whenever I come across it in the videos from now on. 👌
Brilliant video Senan,very educational,super fishing 👏🏻
Thanks Brian !
Great video once again keep up the great work loads of nice brownies 👍👌
Thanks Patrick, they are cool little fish !
Super session!! was supposed to go this morning but called in to work. Living vicariously through the channel!!
Thanks Cormac! There’s nothing like getting the itch to go fishing after watching videos 😁🎣
Great Video, I just subscribed. Love your enthusiasm. I share the frustrations about pipes entering water courses, crazy stuff in this day and age!
Thanks Scott! I know it will annoy some people but I have to voice my opinion in the videos on these things 😂👌
Well Senan, that first fish looks like a Salmon parr alright, looks like its turning into a smolt. Great video, more river fishing please 🙂
“Smoltifying” is the process name I’ve been told, unfortunately we don’t have any real numbers of salmon on this river, but it’s a good sign to see the little lads, there just be one or two around ☺️
Great video ,lovely looking river and great to see a good stock of little brownies and great to see a small salmon
Thanks Joe, I love them little fish they are brilliant to see 🎣
Nice! That definitely looked like a salmon parr with the forked tail 👍🎣
I think it was too, starting to turn into a little smolt !
Just clocked the channel mate defo be watching more🏴👌🏼👌🏼
Thanks Conor 👌🎣
Mepps No2 Silver and blue spots, good for seatrout and salmon too but in bigger sizes. Nice fishing. The gold and blue or red spots is also good on brighter days.
Awesome lures, Mepps spin better than any other spinner on the market, they nailed it with their design.
@@senanstanleyfishing There is another Mepp type lure but it's TK Lure Dande and at £2 for a size 2 and £2.30 for a size 3 these perform as good if not better. Also in silver and gold with red,blue, plain and Black Fury options, just sharing the info. At half the price and they flutter in the water giving a great thump on rotation. Tight lines my friend.
Congratulations on 5k 🎉
Thank you !
Cracking wee trout. Was supposed to go yesterday but had a lot of rain up north rivers flooded and coloured. Your making me wish I should have went on Friday . Keep the good work Senan🎣🎣👍
It’s all a guessing game with that Irish weather 😂 some parts on the river here were pretty high, just lucky it wasn’t too dirty so I could see the footing for using the waiders, nothing worse than taking a slip 😁
@Senan Stanley Fishing You're right about our irish weather. it's either raining or going to rain 🌧 🤣🤣
Brilliant, I'm getting out spinning for trout this year for a change from my pike obsession 😂
It’s always good to mix it up !
Great vid first fish salmon parr:)
Thanks chrissy!
Great stuff senan. Had three on the indicator nymph yesterday on the upper bann, up north... Rivers well up.. almost unfishable. But not quite 😉😅 I'm going to look a spinning rod this afternoon.
Next session will be with the fly rod all going well, the amount of trout hammering flys off the top while I was spinning was crazy, there was lots of fly life, high temps has the river waking up finally ! Good stuff man !
I get what you mean about the pipe aswell. Seeing pipes in rivers, lakes and the the sea really annoys me especially after reading about the consequences in magazines. The fly fishing and fly tying magazine is one I’d recommend as they discuss this in great detail. There are many trying to prevent it but clearly it’s still significant.
I can’t say for certain what type of waste pipe it is but at the same time any sort of pipe going into a wild river is completely unacceptable in my eyes, the amount of fertiliser being washed in when raining isn’t fair on the wildlife in the river.
Fiiiiiish Powertail locked and loaded
It’s such a beast !
Hi Senan. Is there anywhere i can get a list of the set up you use in your trout videos. Just started back fishing after years away. My daughter and myself have only fished for pike so far but we are mad to try for trout and perch. We live in the galway area so if you could recommend some spinners, jerk baits etc that would be great. Love your videos and keep up the great work.
Hi! So basically I have this setup listed in the description of this video, but if you’re living in Galway the easiest thing to do would be call into wildhunters shop and show them the gear in my videos and the lads will be able to get it for you, they are very helpful, a lot of my gear comes from the wildhunter Galway and Athlone shops, you don’t need too much kit, the basic stuff will be more than enough to get back into it, spinners for trout I’d recommend Mepps, I don’t rate any other spinners. I’d Recommend rapala, siek wobblers, Sakura minnow, salmo minnow lures, and get a nice light set up, it’s more fun that way. ☺️👌
@senanstanleyfishing thanks a million for your help. I'm heading to wildhunter today so I'll pick up the bits there. Keep up the great content
Class stuff senan that’s mad that that’s a salmon. You know a good fisherman when he calls the fish “beautiful” some fishermen I know call them runts when they’re that small 😂
Thanks Oscar! Ah fishing to me isn’t always about targeting the big fish there’s a lot more to it than just that, if I wanted big trout I would simply go onto the lake, these little rivers hold an abundance of small trout with the right tackle they will be hours of fun 👌😁 the 1-5 gram rod is perfect for these little guys, it would be no fun with a standard set up but the fly rod will be coming out next time , tricky casting under those trees but there’s always a chance 👌🎣
Fantastic fish caught Senan, great session! What leaders are you using?
Thank you, I always go for 6lb maxima fleurocarbon, it’s so strong, haven’t felt the need to go any lighter it’s quite thick at 0.22 diameter but the trout don’t mind
Great video again Senan. What go pro are you favouring these days ? I'm due an upgrade myself,and heard a few mixed reports on some of the go pro models
Thank you, I have a few different ones from the 9 up to the 11, there’s honestly no difference in quality from the 8 up to the newest model, basically the same to be honest
What is best reel to spin lures i ordered the daiwa ninja 1000 ? Great videos keep up the good work 👏
Searched your videos for a larger river, this was perfect mate - curious, the issues I have with light setups and rivers with flow is they literally get dragged down the river with the flow and I am reeling against the flow for a large portion of the retrieve .... Should I just be retrieving a lot quicker? Should I be using heavier lures? Any advice would be useful mate 🙏🏻
💯 % salmon par
👌
River is still high and fast down my way
It’s actually really low and clear here again !
Amazing colours on the fish mate do you ever trot the worm for trout on the river
Thanks man! I used to worm fish as a kid, but I don’t like to do it anymore as it deep hooks the smaller fish at times no matter how fast you strike, just too awkward with doing the catch and release videos people get sensitive over bait fishing for trout pn CZcams , would get a lot of compaints from the catch and release crowd, I try to just do lure and fly when it comes to trout fishing 🎣
Was a salmon I can confirm
Great video well done what size maps are you using
Meps lol😂
Size 1 mepps and the smallest size in the fiiish powertail ☺️
Looks like a salmon to me
👌
Hi Senan, I'm looking into a pair of waders I'm just wondering if there's any pairs you would recommend under €100. I have a pair but they are very baggy on me.
Hey Ben, I’ve been through a few pairs of cheap chest waiders, Shakespeare do a set for about €50, the ones I have at the minute are kinetic they were €50 also. To be honest waiders will always get damaged or leak at some stage, so I refuse to spent a lot of money on them, if one set does me a season it’s super lucky, these kinetic ones are baggy looking but if you’re in the water it really doesn’t matter, the fish don’t mind what you look like ;)
What glasses are you using lad?
I use Fortis glasses 😎✌️
Just bought my first rod as a 13 year old in Dublin any fishing spots you could tell me about
If you’re in Dublin go to the Dodder, lots of new anglers learning on that river you might meet some friends ☺️👍
What knot do you use with braid to lure Senan?
Double uni knot mostly ☺️
@senanstanleyfishing thanks mate. I've had a couple of knots slip 😖
I’d use a palomar knot to a tiny swivel, and just tie your fleuro onto the swivel, you will never lose another lure ☺️👍
Sorry mate, I'm finding it hard to picture where you mean. Do you have a video of this, even a short video on tiktok?
Sometimes while retrieving i find the lure/spinner wants to skip along/pull up from the surface of the water. Why is that?
Is this when you are casting downstream or upstream ?
@@senanstanleyfishingWhat I found is if the lure or spinner catches some weed/moss etc. it completely ruins the motion and makes it sit closer to the surface 🤷🏻♂️
@AdrianIRL23 for sure, make sure there’s no weed or grass on the lure or swivel on every cast 😁💪
Where do you purchase all of your lures
Wildhunter.ie Jason !
@@senanstanleyfishing Thanks senan
What braid thickness is best for trout?
I use 0.08 on mine mostly 👍
@@senanstanleyfishing thank you
@@senanstanleyfishing how much kg?
@marcelkalkowski1888 roughly 10/12lb for this style of fishing, no need for anything heavy.
@@senanstanleyfishing thank you
Contact Fergal Sharkey! ❤
What ?
He's a staunch advocate for keeping rivers free if pollution. An environmentalist with some clout. He may be able to get something done about it. Just a thought.
Salmon smolt
Yes 👌
that was a salmon
Little Salmon par/smolt
I need yours rod
Great rod🎣
start capping them
I’d sooner just let him off on his journey, I’ve fished this little river for over 22 years and still never seen an adult salmon.
@@senanstanleyfishing I meant cap the pipe ☝️
Sorry man I’m mixing up so many comments my phone freaks out sometimes 😂😂
hope you reported
Reported?
Defo not a trout
👌
Dude yourba good litter Fisher
Thank you!
