- Fishing on the Lower Pitchroy beat on the river Spey 7th of July 2021 . The river had risen the day before and was now dropping . Just the conditions that every anglers dreams about
- Sport
Fabulous Iain, a great days fishing despite the ones that dropped off, loved the sound of your reel singing every other cast! Heading up that way in a week or so. Great Thanks for sharing
I think that is the video with the most views for myself . it was an enjoyable day and it's great to catch it right . I hope you have the same experience Tight Lines I'll wait for the video.
Cheers Iain. 🥃
That's the one you've been waiting for, Iain. What a session - on gorgeous water. Great video.
It has been a wee while waiting on a day like that Gareth . I have fished there a few times and it is a favourite Speyside is a beautiful place and the river Spey is a top river Cheers Iain 🥃
Lain thank you for the wonderfully long video of a full day of fishing on the river some fish were lost and some were caught but that's what keeps us coming back for more.
Tight lines and big silverfish. God bless Y'all and much peace and love from Northeast Texas 🤠
Thanks Rodger It was a long day I had a three hour drive to get there but I loved every minute I dont mind loosing fish , its the excitement of the take stay safe
Awesome Iain. I can see why you love it. Every now and again, it all falls in to place. Well deserved Sir!
Perfect conditions, lots of fish, good company ,beautiful scenery and Andrew
Perfect Cheers Iain 🥃
Brilliant video and brilliant day Iain , loved it lovely river, keep up the good work 👍👍
Thanks Chris we fish for years to have a day like that and that is what keeps us polishing our rod at the end of the season in readiness and anticipation for next year . But in the meantime its back to the next trip Cheers Iain 🥃
Great to see you in amongst them. Lovely water and nice to see a good number of fish running
There were lots of fish heading upstream Steve great to have witnessed it and enjoyed my day out Cheers Iain 🥃
Iain, beautiful river and good fishing. Sometimes you loose and sometimes you win. I think this was the latter👍
I think that it was the Latter Kennet. I will have to wait a while before I get another like that one. but I will look forward to the next trip Take care . Cheers Iain 🥃
Action packed, in a beautiful setting. I’m envious. One day maybe…🎣
It was a full on day Stephen and Spey side is one of the Scottish gems . I hope that one day you can be one of the many that have enjoyed fishing the river. Cheers Iain 🥃
Looks a fabulous stretch of water, and well fished sir,great session,and the sound of that reel.👍
I was up before 5am to get there for 8.30 and fished until dark it was some session and would do it all again . I bought these reels years ago and since then paid a fortune for large arbour disc reels but when I hooked fish the silence was something I could not get use to so out came the old J W,s ........ Perfect noise 😊
Cheers Iain 🥃
Great day...they certainly kept you busy and that was a good one for the memory bank... 👍
its all in there in technicolour amongst so many other days Alan and if when I get older and my memory goes I will be able to resort to the edited version on CZcams 😊 Cheers Iain 🥃
Great video great action well done lain love your videos keep them coming tight lines 🍺
Thanks again Tim I am looking forward to next trip. I hope your season is going well. Tight Lines Cheers Iain 🥃
Knew from your first comments…’bit coloured yesterday (rising) clearer today’ it was going to be a good day!! Water looked perfect, makes up for all those blank days!! Spey has had a decent season, hopefully catches are on the rise. Tight lines👍
I have had a few great days on the Spey Paul and always look forward to fishing trips there Tight lines and keep your rod bent next season Cheers Iain 🥃
There you are Iain! Well deserved to feel some fish! Congrats.
Greetings,
Marcel
Thank you Marcel It was a day to remember Cheers Iain 🥃
Fantastic, exciting day out Iain. That "wee sea trout" could have been a serious fish :-)
Dont sea trout hit hard Caorach and its strange how the fish that I lost at the lower part of the pool took so gently and then pulled hard Cheers Iain 🥃
This bit of film captures the excitement of fishing, the singing of the reel, it’s just spot on. They say that fisherman have three stages, wanting to catch lots, then big fish, then difficult fish. When I was in my thirties I chased about Scotland and Norway and finally caught some lunkers. But nowadays I only fish dry fly for wild trout from the start of the season to the end, usually a size 16 or 18, with a two pound tip. But it’s all to scale, when that 8 foot rod bends over into a half or one pound fish I could just as easily have hooked a fresh run salmon on a double hander. Well just Ian old boy, fish till you drop and be buried with a rod and fly box like a Viking king surrounded by his armour. All the best to anglers all over the U.K.
I think that wee are somewhere in the same age bracket with the three stages of life and I was told by an old guy when I was a young teenager that the first stage was learning how to make money the second was making money and the third was spending all you can accumulate . Poor Dougie never had a chance to spend his money as he died shortly after retiring but he certainly left his mark on me . It sounds like you may have met Dougie and are enjoying life as much as he would had he lived .... Keep enjoying your fishing Tight Lines Cheers Iain . Ps I loved Norway all I caught was sea trout and char but the scenery was worth the visit
@@IainSB Hi Ian , still working I am 60 but would love to retire and spend my time reading books and fishing, but our children have only just gone to university, I fish when I can, about 7 days this year. The Norwegians told me that char is the best fish to eat that there is. The Norwegians have got life sussed, they do a lot more of what they like than we do and don’t knock themselves out at work. Down here in the south is strange, very few real rivers, I go to Derbyshire to fish, lovely clear streams. You would like it. I used to live in Scotland when I was younger, my parents come from Helensburgh.
The Norwegians have sensible government , when they started to extract the oil in the north sea they stored a lot of the revenue and invested our governments decided to give the EU a bigger share in our gross turn over and squandered the rest . Now the Norwegians have a better standard of living than most other countries ...... enough babbling and ranting . I must admit that I am fortunate that I am retired and dont think that I could survive on 7 days fishing a year and hope that you get a chance once you have finished investing in your children's future . All the best Cheers again Iain 🥃
@@IainSB Hi Ian good to be in touch, one BIG thing the Norwegians got wrong was salmon farming, it has turned their salmon fishing into a shadow of its former self and also damaging Scotland’s salmon and sea trout. Salmon farming is in the process of wrecking British Columbia as well. I really do wonder if envelopes change hands. It provides far less employment than rod and line angling does, why are the Scottish government to name but one so keen on it? It’s also not a healthy food, apart from that it’s great. A lot of Scottish MPs don’t like the old estates in the highlands, or the people who own them. I see a lot of agro between the government and the country Scott’s ahead. A bit like the past. Long may yer lum reek.
Well done Iain finally a bit of action 🎣 hope this is the start of a good run of fish for you 🤞
I think its more about catching it right Colin ...... But I will be there on not so good days having fun 😊👍 Cheers Iain 🥃
Hi Iain. Brilliant days fishing. Next time you see Andy remind him of the time he was at Orton and ferried me back from the island with me hanging onto the back of the boat. By the time we landed I was absolutely knackered. Cheers Phil
John the angler I used to go up with passed away and the week days we fished were giver to another group. I don't know when I will manage there again Phil. it sounds like your trip was above and beyond normal angling and had more fun than most Cheers Iain. 🥃
Grand days sport there Iain… I had a fish in the same spot in April, it took me round that ruddy stone in the shallows so many times I felt sure it would break the leader but thankfully I got it in to the side like yourself.
Hi Andrew It all adds to the rich tapestry of life . we anglers have so much anticipation when we pack for a trip and sometimes the weather and other conditions are against us but when you hook a big fish we deserve to pat our selves on the back . I hope its not long before you hook another big one and keep it out the rocks 🎣 Cheers Iain 🥃
The one that got away, and his ten friends... beautiful river, full of fish... loved the video Iain... well done
If I added all the fish that splashed and a few other ones that pulled at the fly I think that I would have been still editing Stiofain It was one of those days when the river was dropping and I landed lucky ...... Now back to reality 🎣
Cheers Iain 🥃
Great video enjoy watching you at work on such I gorgeous river congratulations mate keep up the good work 👍👌🏻
Thanks Mick I have been fortunate to have fished on the river Spey for quite a few years and hope to fish there for some seasons to come . Cheers Iain 🥃
Gorgeous looking river I hope to get to the river Tay next year I was disappointed that couldn’t get to go this year but hopefully next year is better but I had one salmon this season on the fly so not two bad haha but I hope to get another couple before the season ends but thanks for the great video mate stay safe and good luck 👏🏻👍👌🏻

What a cracking day indeed, great move changing rivers. Book the beat as much as possible.👌🍻
Hi Hal that beat in the summer is dead mans shoes . I had been fishing there pre covid and have a couple of CZcams videos on the beat . I lost my chance to go because my friend that booked it went to fish where the salmon are all over 20lb and take evey cast . I was lucky to be invited by Roy and Tara for the day and would gladly book again but would need to wait until another angler joined my mate John . But there is always the next trip 😊 time to fill the fly box and polish my rods Cheers Iain 🥃
@@IainSB
I have noticed when ever the fish are surfacing your results are better. Not seen many (any) jumpers when hooked?🍺🍀
What a crackin days fishin Iain....great stuff. I've been out a couple of times but no luck yet. I get tired easily and wading can be problematic. Your videos help so thank you for that......tight lines
I am no Chicken Kevin and I go home wondering which parts hurt the most especially if there are a lot of large stones in the water. The thought of catching fish drives me through the pain barrier. I was up before 5am For the 3 hour drive before starting to fish by the end of the day I was glad to put the rod away
I hope that you have success soon Tight Lines Cheers Iain 🥃
@@IainSB well I've got the perfect excuse for booking a day on the tay....a mate gave me a 15ft Hardy favourite last night. It's a bit rough cosmetically but in good enough useable shape. If I like it I might get it revarnished and snake eyes on it. I'm well pleased with myself
well done Kevin I have whipped eyes onto rods and built rods from blanks , its quite straight forward and if you look on youtube i am sure that you will manage
save yourself some money and join the Perth and District Anglers Association
I get most of my days through the ballot great value for money and a great bunch of guys
👌👍
Great bit of action Iain, too bad they didn’t all stick. Well done 👍
I wasn't to disappointed as I had an enjoyable day Greg . The conditions were perfect and the company was excellent ... Just got to knuckle down and prepare for the next trip 👌🎣 Cheers Iain 🥃
Great day's sport Iain - well done!
Mr Brysie Thank you , I am fortunate to have been able to get out and enjoy my hobby and meet old and new freinds every year Cheers Iain 🥃
@@IainSB I'm the same, my passion is fly fishing for sewin (sea trout) in the dark, in West Wales. But watching this video of the Spey makes me think I need to get up to Scotland and try some 'specials' that carry your name and chase another type of silver visitor....
Great to see your rod bent. It's been a while. I admire your restraint when they come off.
Thanks Laurie I remember letting a few oaths go when I lost a fish when I first started trying to record my trips and found it horrendous trying to edit some noise over the top .. Frances would not allow me to leave the bad words in a there are some youngsters watch fishing videos on CZcams Take care Cheers Iain 🥃
Iain, you must be using the same hooks as myself, the ones with PVA hook points😆 fair play to you though, cracking days fishing with a couple of fish landed. Well done, stay safe and look forward to your next video
Thanks Frosty I hope to get out again soon for more fun and hopefully catching Tight lines Stay safe Cheers Iain 🥃
Cracking video well done Iain
Thanks James It is one of my favorite beats Cheers Iain 🥃
What cracking sport, well done
Its great when you hit it right Steven the water rose the day before and was falling. Its better being lucky than good 😉 Cheers Iain 🥃
Hearing that drag never gets old . Tight lines
Every time I hear it scream Mike it makes me feel a day J W Younger
Cheers Iain 🥃

Well done! Iain that was a good day's sport, just a pity they didn't all stick.
That's fishing Paul what a great day and I am not disappointed about loosing fish I had a great day as well as the recording I have so much more stuck in the small portion of brain that stores all the fishing trips . That day is stored in that section of the brain as exceptional 😉👌 .
Cheers Iain 🥃
Looked like a rare days fishing for you Iain? Well done. That’s your season officially off and running now 👍🏻👍🏻 lovely looking water too-I fear lower pitcroy is out of reach for us mere mortals however haha! All the best
Hi Kobyashi I was there at the invitation of Tara and Roy as I lost the days that I had planned to go...... I am not rich by any means but on occasions its worth spending your pension money to have a treat . I hope that when you get as old as I am that you manage to have as much fun as me 😊 Cheers Iain 🥃
@@IainSB haha I doubt I’ll live that long 😉🤣
Keep fishing as much as possible and the time will fly by 😉👌
Great Work Iain!
Its not always about catching there is always a bit of excitement, frustration and expectation in the mix when you are at the river ... and forgot to mention the most important bit enjoyment Cheers Iain 🥃
Well what a great day you had. Iain....I thought at one point you were going to have one on every cast! The one that got off at the tail end of the pool looked a pretty good sized fish. I know the feeling only too well when that happens...my language would have been a bit more colourful!
Tight lines again! 😎👍👍👍
I was fishing 15Lb cast and never expected it to chaff on a rock Mr Mazo it took so gently but what a run. I lost two good fish like that three years ago in the same pool ... It is almost imposable to make a beep noise over the top of red and blue words and Frances wont allow me to add bad language to the videos as youngsters may view fishing videos ........ So I bight my tongue . a lot of bruising this trip 😉 Cheers Iain 🥃
You deserved a day like that best action in ages .....I can still hear that reel singing !
days Like that are few and far between Gregor and as you can imagine I had sweet dreams all night long with the reel singing in the background 👍🎣 Cheers Iain 🥃
Definitely a productive pool that one
Congratulations from Australia
Hi again Steve If I could manage I would have a week there in the summer . Its a great holding pool and every cast there is a chance of a fish and a big one at that . I hope life is good in Australia Stay safe Cheers Iain 🥃🥃
Stunning day out! As you say, days we dream about.
Still Dreaming yet E C ..... but now have to concentrate on the next trip 😊 Cheers Iain 🥃
Excellent came good at last wee bit of water makes a difference 👍
I was a wee bit worried the day before as there were thunder storms James . the river was unfishable in the afternoon , I was lucky to hit it right and have as much fun 😊 Cheers Iain 🥃
Cracking video Iain , You hit the honey holes on the river shame the fish that snapped you around a rock wasn’t landed as it was a corker. 👍
I was on the same beat about 3 years ago and lost 2 big fish in the same pool . the excitement of the screaming across the river lingers in the memory . Like Arnold ill be back . Cheers Iain 🥃
Christ Iain I thought you were going to catch them all in the beat the way you were going. Well done and a great days Fishing by todays standards.
I am still smiling Kenny 😊 I remember Lou Reid sing Just a perfect day I was singing along with him when I was trying to sleep 🎣 Cheers Iain 🥃
I have no idea what your saying but i love these videos!!
Hi again Ron its not worthwhile getting someone to translate as my running commentary isn't that great 😉 Just soak up the rest 👌 Cheers Iain 🥃
What a day Iain.... You earned that one with all the effort you put in... It's great to catch it in film so you can enjoy it again... Great stuff... I bet a wee one was taken after that... Just to steady the nerves! 😉👍 Cheers James
A red letter day James I was up before five to dive there for 8.30 am fished all day until dark slept in the back of the motor never had a drink but felt like I had been at the bar all night. had the dram on the Thursday 😊👍 Cheers Iain 🥃
It was a joy to watch... We live for days like that... Back of the car never ends in felling refreshed! 🤣 Cheers James 🥃
it was the first time for years and If I have to do it again I will think up a new plan
These POV videos tangibly assist my spey loving patients transition toward end of life. From Canada. Thank you.
I really appreciate your comment I would like to explain why I started adding videos to CZcams . 30years ago my wife Frances developed an auto immune disease called scleroderma and her heath has gradually worsened and about five years ago Frances spent some time in and out of hospital. I found that I was dinking a lot and decided to play at editing some videos from a GoPro that I had received for my Christmas to save me having a lot of sore heads. A young neighbour asked me how I was getting on and I mentioned my videos and he guided me through the stages of adding them to CZcams. It has over the past few years giver me something to do while sitting on my own while Frances has had an early night due to her illness . Last year I was only out fishing for an hour or so but still managed a couple of videos until my last trip that I made on the 5th August . Frances's health has worsened and a few years ago she was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension and now on 14ltrs of oxygen per minute and requires a lot of care . Frances kept me going with my fishing trips until she was unable to care for herself and that has given me the strength to look after her when she needs me most . we have nurses come visit and palliative care. Frances is in a lot of pain from other problems that have joined forces to make her life horrendous......... I am glad that others get pleasure from my efforts and hope that it helps bring back memories of there own fishing trips . take care of yourself Jesse because I know how much effort there is in looking after others Cheers Iain 🥃
Iain, my sincerest condolences, I'm so moved by your story. No wonder your videos have struck a cord with my patients.
That is a beautiful river
I would love to fish there more often Frank, I haven't managed to fish the river Spey this year and I don't think I will get around to having a visit. I have some other videos of fishing at Lower Pitchroy from previous trips if you search on my channel on CZcams. Cheers Iain
What a days sport - looks a fantastic bit of water
Hi Mitchell Its dead mans shoes trying to get a few days there and I was lucky to get invited for the day By Roy and Tara Cheers Iain 🥃
Fished on the Spey for over 20 years I adore the Grantown section and Dulnain Bridge in my Seventies now , still miss it. Great video Ian.
Hi Dave its a shame that you cant manage as you say its a great bit of water at Grantown and I have fished there away in the past and hope at some time ti get back again . Come next February I will jump into the same age bracket but lucky to have only a bit arthritis in my hands and a few aches and pains and hope to keep fishing for a while . Dont know if you saw my other lower Pitchroy videos and I also added a video of a day at Aberlour association water about three years ago Cheers Iain 🥃 A wee dram helps with the pain 😉
@@IainSB Just had a single malt Glenmorangie, and your right a wee dram takes all the pains away 😁I will checkout your other vids, Tight lines stay well friend 😊
Thanks Dave we have so many malts and they say variety is the spice of life
Time for a wee dram now 👍 🥃
Fantastic stuff Iain, think you will need to grease that reel when you get home 🤣
There is one thing about the old J W,s Colin they just keep singing all I need to do is try find some fish to help with the noise 😉👌 Cheers Iain 🥃
Brilliant
Thanks Paul. it was a day that I will remember . Trying to capture a full day into a small video......... I had to leave some bits out , but they are all there in technicolour in my memory bank
Cheers Iain. 🥃
Andrew the ghillie was very pre occupied for your assistance Ian,,,,,,,lovely water
I think after fishing there fore a few years Andrew knows that I can manage on my own 😊 a Perfect place to be Cheers Iain 🥃
What a fantastic bit of water that is. Really enjoying your videos Iain! I'm just getting into fly fishing for salmon and have already tied up a few of your special flies :) Hoping to try them out soon on my local river in Ayrshire once we get some decent rain and some numbers of fish running. Do you use barbless hooks? Thanks
I seem to have timed it wrong anytime I have fished Ayrshire but when I have had a cast on some of the great rivers I have enjoyed the scenery . I fished the the Black water years ago and managed a good springer and saw several fish and would love to have another visit some day Cheers Iain🥃
Keep your hooks sharp and your rod high ,your my type of man .Great video
Thanks Rodger sometimes I think that I should be using stronger leaders . I could have kicked myself when I lost that fish . I hope next season is all that you hope for and you manage to fill your fly boxes over the winter. Cheers Iain 🥃
You were kept busy that day Iain, well done .
It was a long day Alan, I was up before 5am and had a 3 hour drive before starting to fish .......... I would do it all again in a flash
Cheers Iain 🥃
@@IainSB With the action you got I bet you would get up at 5am every day 👍
Tired but happy 🥱 🥃
Great video sir thats a great day's fishing the sea trout don't half pull for their size
They hit so hard Neil and I will look forward to hooking more if I get the chance 👌
Cheers Iain 🥃
@@IainSB ye fished at bonar bridge in tidal bit just down from bridge had some great days there you deserved a good day after all the hard ones
👍😊
Ian loved this video don’t often hear you curse 😅 Great days sport felt like I was there
I think that it is OK to let things slip now and again especially if you lose a Biggy . I do try and avoid the use of bad language as there could be youngsters view CZcams videos . I remember hooking a fish of about 15lb when I was a wee boy and my mother was astounded when I used the same word . I always wondered if she understood the feeling when a big fish was lost 🎣 Cheers Iain🥃
I can’t tell you Ian I understand 😅 bit of passion no harm, Great video ups and downs that’s what it’s all about well done again
God afternoon Iain
Well a great video, fish landed, fish lost, but for me that was a successful day on the river.
Have you any reason why fish cone off, are they tentatively mouthing the fly, not really going for it.
Pound for pound which is the better fight, Salmon or Sea Trout?
Hopefully your luck has now changed for the better
Tight Lines
What a day Paul It was an early start I was up before 5am to drive there for 8.30 and by the time it was getting dark I was so tired but the site of fish splashing kept me going . I could have extended the video by another hour if I had added all the fish that had splashed . I think that some of the seatrout were hitting the fly that quick that they were lightly hooked . I love the speed that seatrout grab the fly and then scream off but the noise of a big salmon stripping yards and yards of line gets me every time. Looking forward to my next trip 😊 Cheers Iain 🥃
Recognised the sound of the Shakespeare reel. Still got mine and going strong after many years use
They were all built by J W Young. for companies like Shakespeare, Diawa etc even Farlows got them to make reels for them . the only bits that go wrong or wear are the springs and the Pauls and they are still available. I have eight of these reels in different states after being dragged about river banks for years and all still serviceable . Tight lines for 2024 🎣
Cheers Iain 🥃
Very nice video and extra ordinary action. Fighting good fish hooked on the Pool tail in fast water is difficult and very prone to loosing it. Next time try to walk the the fish up like a dog on a lash instead of trying to hold the fish at the tail end.
Hi Stefan the pool gets deep and quick on the bank that I was fishing from and it makes it awkward to got bellow and where it headed for was quite rocky when it was heading upstream . I hoped that it would have turned mid stream and then I would have been behind it .... but alas chaffing on a rock happens maybe next time ........ Its a dream of a pool to fish and hope that I get the opportunity to get back there Cheers again Iain 🥃🎣
Hi Ian brilliant video
What line and shooting head is it you use for the fly fishing appreciated if you can help me thank you
Hi Ross the line I am using that day is a Rio outbound ,which is a complete line . I use a Rio Scan Short with that rod when I am not fishing as big a river . Both of these lines are a size heavier that the rod manufacturers recommend as I like to make the line load the rod . it makes for an easier days fishing
Cheers Iain 🥃
Looks a lovely beat pitchroy and you had some great sport for the day,
Is is pitchroy that has the bit called the washing machine?
I had a great but tiering day . i was up before 5am to drive there for 8.30 am and fished until dark . Its a beautiful beat to fish and I have a few other videos when I was fishing there. The washing machine pool is furthere upstream near Ballindalloch Cheers Iain 🥃
what rod are you using iain, lovely casting!
I am not a fan of the company and would never recommend anyone to buy a hardy rod because of there customer care team Cian . It is quite a good rod and if like me you will buy it at a discounted price that is more in keeping with its value .
Its a 12 ft hardy but like any rod if you match it to the correct line it works well
You may take it that I have had problems in the past Cheers Iain 🥃
My dad always said," don't play it from the front, get behind it". It worked for me.
I agree with your Dad but its not always the fish listen to the anglers . I thought that the fish that took at the bottom of the pool would have stayed on when the line was dragging from behind but it was not to be Jim . I think that when fish are just nipping at the fly as most did that day (being hooked lightly at the front of there mouths ) they have the decision whether you can get behind them or not
Cheers Iain 🥃
Please, which rods with which length and gauge, which reels, and which lines and leaders do you use?
Sorry about the time taken to respond Christian. The rod I am using at Lower Pitchroy is a 12ft Hardy Demon 7weight and the reel is a J.W.Young (I use them on most of my rods). the line is a Rio AFS 8weight with a floating polly tip. When I fish at Cardrona or the River Halladale I use a 7 weight Bloke Switch rod with a Rio Scan Short Line and a 5 ft Floating poly tip. When I fish on bigger rivers such as the Tay I will normally use my Shakespear 14ft 9in Oracle Scandi with an Airflow 10/11 compact and various tips . When the water gets cold I will use a Sage 12ft9in for a 9weight and I have 10/11 Skaget with various lengths of T weighted tips . I also use a Guideline 10/11 multi tip head depending on river levels. I have other rods but the afore mentioned are the ones I use most . I hope that this helps . Cheers Iain. 🥃

most of the time I have used size 8 singles as I preferer to have them high in the water . I have tied them in various sizes in doubles and seem to find that size 8 to 14 work best . when I need bigger flies I have an orange fly that I have a video of the tying on CZcams Cheers again Cheers Iain 🥃

Great days fishing 👍What weight of line # are you using? Is that a 12' rod?
It is a 12 ft Rod John. the line I was using was an 8 weight rio outbound which had been shortened by about 5ft after a sheep chewed through it while I wasn't watching . I had a 12 ft pollyleader on the end before my cast with a dropper and tail fly

Thanks for your reply! Ironically I'm sitting here this very minute looking at the 485gr version of that very line! Unfortunate that a sheep chewed the line, in fact I'd say it's very baaaahd 🐑😂

@@IainSB Pinks spawn between now and end of august in only middle reaches of rivers,their eggs are hatched and on the way to sea by the time our salmon are ready to spawn or pairing up...Pinks aint new on the wear they been there for 41 seasons i know of and when i started in 1980s some of the old fellers were edwardians who said that from around the 1930s some people say 50s the Pinks started to land they notin the way and are very welcome to the wear as their breeding times dont interfere with native fish...Wear has gone from being the best sea trout river in england and wales to a match for the English Tyne...so pinks aint hurting anything these past say 15 years the wear has gone from being superb to off the scale for salmon 58 miles long and as many salmon as tyne gets,counter(s) aint to be trrusted as over the many years the figures constantly change in the favour of the e/a they said 4 k fish ran last season lol river was swollen a lot and fish dont use counters in them heights so yeah Pinks humpys more than welcome--as ive said many time before salmon aint declining on the north east coast in fact the oppsoite is happening,,,salmon are now in every river system flowing to the ouse / humber that wasnt the case say 15 yrs ago...about 2-4 rivers that ran to the humber had breedng runs of fish now everything does and theys too many river to name and i dont know the names of them all cos the system is yowge humber--soopa low end estimation passing humber 150k-200k easily ! 20 yrs ago some years it didnt get any visible salmon (Y)
Thanks for clearing that up and its great that the rivers around your area are doing so well
Do you use barbless hooks Ian?
I have never used barbless hooks David most of the hooks I use are Partridge Grey Shadow . I bought a lot of these hooks years ago as they were fine wire and had a very small barb which made life easy when returning fish Cheers Iain 🥃
That was a bit harsh in my opinion, if i lose that many fish in the same day i would sell my 12 flyrods and never look at a flyrod again without the father of all hate beam out of my eyes. Good vid from a nice beat with a deacent amount of fish tho:)
The Fish that I landed all were Hooked at the front of there mouths so I can only assume that they were just nipping at the fly.... I think I may need my 12ft rod again especially as its not worth a lot 😉 Cheers Iain 🥃
Seria excelente se os vídeos fossem legendados obrigado.
I dont need an interpreter to translate Gracious 🎣😊 Cheers Iain 🥃
That has to be a Marquis? Old faithful! Or perhaps a Youngs.
Hi Sair I found it more affordable to fish with J W Youngs and never owned a Marquis I have several large arbour reels but preferer a reel that can sing
Cheers Iain🥃
Thanks Iain, yes a JW Youngs. I have a couple of Marquises. They are great ‘announcers’! We need rain here in N. Ireland . Salmon angling stalled with this drought. A splendid beat you were on there. Tight lines sir.
That was full of fish u do really well with ur Ian bain special ull need tae stop tying them on rubber hooks lol
Frances keeps filling down the points Martin . She hates the smell of salmon in the house 😉 Cheers Iain 🥃
Will there be spey fishing in heaven?
Hi Jesse I think that it would be an ideal heaven I think also that hell would have the spey too but they would have the fishes bits Cheers Iain 🥃
must be nice having the odd fish but most importantly water in the river 😭
the river had risen the day before and had cleared by the morning , I think the fish were desperate to take a fly . I just got there at the right time Cheers Iain🥃
👍😉
Just a perfect day 👍 Cheers Iain 🥃
Lovely day there Iain hope you're well and family 👍😉
Can you not eat a few sea trout?
I love to eat sea trout Terry but a lot of rivers it is compulsory to return the as there is a decline in there numbers (due to the disease from farmed salmon)
Cheers Iain 🥃
Man that reel is annoying as hell! I almost forgot why I hate those noise makers...thanks for the reminder!
Noisy reels are like marmite Brian ......... love them or hate them the comments I have had you are in the minority Cheers Iain 🥃
Love the sound of the reel. It's like watching Jaws. Brilliant insights into the great rivers of Scotland
