Great video of a wee Scottish salmon from a wee river. Just so people know,most Scottish rivers run a catch and release policy on salmon to try to get population numbers back to what they were 50yrs ago.
1 salmon per angler for a season seems reasonable and would at least offer something to be kept aswell as keep population increase going. Be good to see the rivers return back to old days
Late autumn salmon dont always eat well..energy muscle and body going into producing eggs and milt. Yes I fully agree with catch and release with autumn fish Simon Artley Manchester UK
I live in this area and have stood on the banks but never fished the shin. That and its neighbour the cassley are on the spring to do list though. Another river near there worth a shot is the alness.
In the middle of watching you fight this fish at the start of the video! What a fight it's putting up! May I ask what river this is and how I would go about getting on it for the 2024 season? Cheers!
I would shoot a dear for food. But for what some people consider sport no. There is ,however ,an advantage to Americans hunting dear. At least they're not shooting each other.
😂😂😂salmon don't eat anything in fresh water any time. They take out of aggression. They only feed at sea. And pointing your rod at the fish is the correct way as you need them to take line and turn. If you strike you lose the fish

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully one day the rivers can return to what they once were!
5 years ago would be appreciated, early 2000s even better!!

What a stunning river
It Certainly is, one of favourites!
Nice man! what Retrieve method do you use?
Hmm, Mybe keep your rod tip higher so the rod flex can absorb more of the headshakes, exept that good stuff:)
Nice video! Subscribed 🎣🎣

Do you have to pay to fish there? How much does it cost and what is your rod and reel set up?

I would like to know how to go about fishing this river. Coming from derry Ireland
Very enjoyable little video,congrats. What’s your rod and line set up, if you don’t mind me asking?
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! The rod I'm using is a Guideline LPX Chrome in 12'9 8/9 and the line is a Guideline 4D Compact.
Much obliged 👍@@sc-flyfishing
Beautiful fish! What fly were you using?
Cheers.The fly is a size 10 Calvin Shrimp, my favourite fly this time of year!
clamp the line to the rod with your right hand and bully its head up for the net 6.5lbs no problem far too long on that fish
our rivers finish on the 31st , still time to nail a few kippers
Tight lines for the rest of your season!
You don't do any big mends back?
Which river is this please?
Why don't you keep the salman a great eating fish
With how much Salmon are struggling I choose to return all Salmon I catch.

🤣🤦🏻♂️ SOME PLACES I WOULD REALLY HAVE TO QUESTION THAT !!!!
You should never point your rod that much towards the fish lad. At least not in my book of fishing rules

Correct on the take - Not during playing the fish though rod tip needs to be up 90 degrees or so to the line
