Awesome catch, that’s why I like salmon fishing the fighting.
Hi
What size number was the flying c...is that the Avon you were fishing...?
Mepps 3 15g flying c on the Hampshire Avon
Lovely fish pal 👍 i was on a fishing trip 3 weeks ago at a river ive never fished before, i started off with an Abu Garcia Tormentor floating minnow and on my second cast i went right into a tree on the opposite bank,luckily i had my waders on so i was able to get over but once i got up the tree i saw my line had wrapped around another line stuck there and on the end of it was a big red flying c 😀🙌 i never used it as i was ultralight fishing n this was to heavy for my 5ft 6 rod but im gonna give it a go soon, would trout go for these lures paul?
Tight lines pal ✌👍from Scotland 🙋
TheDevilWearsPrada that’s very fortunate all round. Trout will also take a red fl6ing c. Goo d luck. Hope you walk in5o a fresh fish soon. I had my biggest on a red &l6ing c. 35 lb Avon Salmon ! All on vid of course ! Tight lines!
@@PaulGreenacre Thanx pal 👍 last week i caught my biggest ever fish, a 38cm wild brown on the worm not sure of its weight but deffo my P.B 😆 ive got the vid on here but i made it private bc of my C&R effort which was awfull but i was so excited and got carried away,i had watched a vid of a guys P.B catch and he got so much negativity in the comments and my effort was worse 😞 i left my landing net on that trip were i found the Flying C 😠 so i had no choice but to land it with my hands, i usually keep my catch in the net then quickly get a pic.
I'll give you the link if you want to have a look its only a couple of mins long and i only used the camera on my tablet 😞
I wouldn't mind an opinion of how heavy it was
How do you attach the flying c to the mainline? Do you tie the mainline directly to the the lure or do you use a snap swivel? Also do you a hooklink/leader?
Use a barrel swivel
no link swivel - straight to the leader - using a uni knot, swivel is 2 feet above the spinner.
Yes I enjoy your videos I do quite a lot of fishing on class b rivers up here in Scotland I like the purple shrimp they always catch Paul did u ever dug a docken leaf best grub ever
Peter O Brien thanks . Purple shrimp work well on the Avon late in the season. .
I used to fish those as a kid, aren't the Docken grubs crane fly pupa? What rivers still allow shrimp fishing in Scotland Peter?
what rod and reel
Would you recommend the flying c for Atlantic salmon?
yes
Im only 28 but i fish an old school setup some ppl would laugh at me an old shakespeare ugly stick rod from the 80s or an old abu garcia rod an an old michell 300 if you know you know ..
What rod do you use for salmon lure fishing?
10 1/2 foot diawa spinning rod
Is it 20lb, 25lb... rod? I am trying to figure out how powerful rod for salmon I need :)
Beauty.
Great video - amazing fishing. Do you use wire traces when spinning for salmon on the Avon? How often do you encounter pike when upstreaming?
No I use flouro carbon in case the salmon rolls on the line. You catch the occasional Pike.
Thanks for the reply Paul. I really need to try some salmon fishing soon.
My favourite spinner for salmon, lost count how many l have taken on the black and silver. Early season l fish the black and gold. Throw it across and slightly up stream and reel it in.. deadly. Fish the yellow and silver in coloured water after heavy rain, cast upstream hard into the bank and hit the seatrout.
Great video mate, i sometime use the exact same method and cast across upstream also, what ever it is about the lure coming toward their face it triggers a very aggressive take.
Salmon open and shut their mouths all the time and obviously face upstream and when you cast upstream and reel in the line goes through the salmons mouth and the lure slides into it's mouth, hence the aggressive take and sometimes hooked on the outside of the mouth , foul hooked ! it happen's with lead fly lines as well,these method's are banned on some beat's .Not being a kill joy it's just the truth ,how it is !!! Probably what happened with this fish on the video.
@@ROAD658 I doubt very much a salmon is going to stay still while a line is dragging across its mouth until a lure latches on..... its mostly a front coming invader of personal space that annoys them, I've seen a lot of fish follow the flying c back down stream and nail it.
Nice fish, if I spin deep all I catch is underwater branches. smh
Ur either leaving it sink too long or the pool is too shallow for that method then just spin normally
What size flying C?
15 grams
Cracking video mate very helpful but thing your weight guessing that bit off would give ya 8lb but Cameras could be to blame braw fish mate
You weren't reeling in, the fish has ran up the line and foul hooked itself under the bottom jaw , quite unbelievable you posted this 👎👎
I think it took “on the drop”. That’s not foul hooking, it’s something that happens in all aspects of angling.
@@durrantalan hooked under the jaw , not in the mouth ,foul hooked.
@@ROAD658 yep, foul hooked.
@@Ukmongoose3 Yes but it doesnt matter a shit because he released it...
@@dronephotographyireland very true indeed, just a matter of observation. I must have been really bored to even comment!
