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

Nice man! what Retrieve method do you use?

You are fishing way too fast...the slower you draw the line the better...18 Inch slow draws and a pause between each..and don't tighten into the fish right away let the fish turn go back to the lie and take some line then slowly raise the rod..the fish will hook itself..also use a sink tip to match the water height

Nice video

The reason you lost that fish is because you are using reservoir tactics. You did not let the line go or loop go on the take , therefore badly hooked.

Hi what length and line weight rod are you using. Always interested in tackle set up. Thanks Phil

Strange style. Let it swing and dangle then strip. That's a triple faster strop than still water trout ? . Why pull line out when you have the fish under control.

Close to the Spey is the Findhorn..there is I think Forres Angling Association..however Findhorn may be more of a summer river.

What river mate

casting??

I enjoyed the video ive never tryed fly fishing ive bought my self a few bits cant wait too learn

Unlucky🎣👍🏻

What river was this on

Is this the Carron?

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.

Is that the Brora?

so many bitties

Good video, kinda highlights one thing slow your fly down, in my opinion 👍

Sad luck loosing that fish. That said, next time suggest you pay attention to your fish instead of fooling around with your phone. Also, totally agree with comments about your drag... if set correctly you NEVER need to play with your lines just keep steady pressure on and work them to the best location to land them. Better luck next time.

Which river is this please?

Spot on good lad ... 👍🎣 👀 Thanks.. Tight Lines...

Nice video! Subscribed 🎣🎣

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

You should never point your rod that much towards the fish lad. At least not in my book of fishing rules

You don't do any big mends back?

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.

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

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.

Very enjoyable little video,congrats. What’s your rod and line set up, if you don’t mind me asking?

Massachusetts here USA awesome video

Beautiful fish! What fly were you using?

Hmm, Mybe keep your rod tip higher so the rod flex can absorb more of the headshakes, exept that good stuff:)

I want to go fly fishing with you!!!!BTW, I can see all bugs flying around and if mosquitoes think of your blood as a “fine wine” like they do with me, they also HATE the smell of coconut. 😀

What a stunning river

Why don't you keep the salman a great eating fish

Great wee fight on your Chrome rod 🐟👍

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!

Great job. Keep up the good work. Tight lines !

Have never seen so much messing around to get a fish in.

All though, I really want a cascapedia as they look stunning 😊

Great video. Are you using a cascapedia reel and if so, how do you rate it? Some have commented on the drag not being great.

I've caught grilse up to around 7lb on small rivers on Arran. Sadly forestation (leading to faster floods) and otters messed these rivers up many years ago but still my favourite memories of angling are there. Not on the fly, the rivers were too small for this method so we used worm or prawn.

Which stretch of the Ure

Drag was set too tight when the fish was in close. If you feel the need to pull line off the reel, that's a good sign you need to loosen up the drag. Like another commenter mentioned, it can be good to play the fish by hand when it gets in close, but a lot of people prefer to just loosen up the drag. Many big fish have been lost due to drag being too tight when the fish gets close.

Played it too hard that’s why he lost it - inexperience

U give it slack when u pulled line off your reel in my opinion it takes very little for fish to get that degree of slack.we all loss fish tight lines 2023

I had no idea what you were doing there. Why were you paying out line and encouraging the fish to run downstream into the fast water? You had a perfect place right in front of you to land that fish and should have kept the fish there until your dad arrived. In fact the fish was in that slack water for some time, until you paid out line to it and it ran downstream.

Thats the joys of it. Sometimes no matter what you do is not enough. As we say if your name is not on him you wont get him,. Keep her lit man. Just subbed.

Great to watch, what was that rod ,reel and line set up ?
