Our First Ever Salmon!

[@cribscian]

Great to see Jamie Vardy enjoying the salmon fishing so much

[@nolanminor6761]

James is the real deal. Appreciates fly fishing for what it is, and doesn't frown upon other forms of fishing. Awesome job guys.

[@fishwithcarl]

Absolutely mate, could not agree more! Thanks too, glad you enjoyed mate!

[@katymansel2667]

Too much of that round me, fly fishing supremacy seems like no love for the spin fishers

[@Jonalexxx]

You guys are the most underrated fishing KZbin channel. You should be at a million subs by now! You guys deserve so much more! The work that goes into these masterpieces is insane. Even old videos are just amazing!! Great job!

[@Toronto_James]

Another great film. Wonderful fishing and scenery. Really good to see James back on the screen again too. Came across as a really nice guy who was full of passion for the sport. Even my wife enjoys watching him... Thanks for posting guys!

[@ainzooalgown6450]

"if someone knocked you over the head, you'd be gutted" Shouldn't have but made me chuckle.

[@fishwithcarl]

Haha it made me laugh too 😂

[@jamesrussel1133]

Brilliant to see you guys spreading your wings and trying other forms of fishing. James seems the perfect guide, his enthusiasm is infectious, not that you weren’t already excited. But to catch a huge specimen like the fish Carl had on his first day, truly amazing. Well done to everyone!

[@zedman1]

I always love it when a little notification pops up on my screen telling me you guys have just posted a new video. Your video production skills just get better and better and as usual your enthusiasm is so infectious. You are both an absolute credit to angling.

[@fishwithcarl]

Haha AWESOME! :) Love it thanks so so so much!

[@TorontoMainlineTrains]

I have no idea how I missed this video Carl & Alex, but this is my home town of Hexham, where I lived before moving to Canada. Love the fact that the Tyne is now #1 Salmon river in the UK.

[@clippedwing-bensmith1614]

It's a pleasure to watch you both out on the bank, I think more importantly that sharing your adventures with us is fantastic. It's refreshing to see you fish with other like minded people you have met throughout the years too! I can only dream of getting this much fishing in! Also having dabbled with the process of vidography (sp?) editing and publishing, I fully appreciate how much time, effort and creative processing it takes to make these videos! Kudos guys... maximum effort!

[@fishwithcarl]

Hi Ben, Filming, photography, and fishing are all things which require time and sometimes a lot of patience! But none of those compare with the amount of time editing a video takes! We might spend two days filming but then it's a solid week of editing to get the film ready to be watched! lol! Pretty crazy really, but we love it! haha Thanks again, new video coming next friday! hehe C & A

[@clippedwing-bensmith1614]

Edit a video in a week, watch it back 10 times before publishing :) Look forward to a new video, also good luck with your Nash fundraiser! Hope you make stacks of money for a good cause!

[@littlelegs6532]

These productions are just going from strength to strength guys,really professional,fantastic footage....keep em coming

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Rick!! Glad you like them :D

[@bjordan74]

My local river, and still my favourite water, my first Salmon was also a 13lber (from the Rede, a tributary of the Tyne) when I was 10 years old. Unbelievably, 24 years later and all the Salmon landed since and I've never bettered it, sure I'm cursed! Well done lads, 4 Salmon in 2 days is an excellent return, even in peak season. Love your channel, keep it up gents, we appreciate the effort you put in to your vids, they're a great watch :)

[@feralgrandad4429]

Usual great video guys, so great to see someone as enthusiastic and helpful as James!

[@fishwithcarl]

For sure, he was the perfect guy to help us catch our first Salmon! :)

[@JWTulkas]

What an awesome video... James seems like such a good bloke too!!

[@Straightshooterx71x]

Brilliant fishing, forever memories having a session like that.

[@Aster321]

Excellent video, and great editing! Enjoyed watching every second!

[@fishwithcarl]

+Aster321 Thanks a lot buddy!

[@iveywebb44]

One of your very best videos. What a great guest James is, thoroughly good guy and his enthusiasm is terrific. Could you tell me what the name of the app he uses to check the fish caught and the water levels is please?

[@josephvenable5263]

As usual, fantastic videography of a beautiful place and beautiful fish--thanks!

[@IntrinsicPalomides]

Brilliant as always lads, looking forward to the next!

[@dappadandy]

What a great video. This looks so much fun and your guide seems a top bloke

[@andrematos5599]

guys, dont ever stop the videos ! you are amazing , once that i get a job i will be one of your patreons !

[@fishwithcarl]

Ahh thanks so much dude!!

[@parkesy5158]

Awesome guys, nice to see u lads come up north to fish

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks dude, hopefully will do more of it!! :)

[@willjarman6613]

Outstanding video lads 🐟 really enjoyed watching it 💪🏼🐟

[@digitalrapport5634]

Yo, the way he described what it was like, and why he loved fishing for salman in that river was absolutely amazing! I mean wow! I cant think about anything other than needing to catch a salman haha. Bravo chap! Much love and respect

[@samandtomgofishing]

Love how you're aiming to mix things up guys! Keep up the awesome videos!

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Sam and Tom! Yeah we just want to try and learn more about different types of fishing, there is so much out there to discover and cool places to go! :)

[@oliversmith4007]

Great video as always guys, if you love fishing of the surface so much you should try our lake it's amazing for surface fishing and wouldn't be surprised if you caught over 50 fish in one day. Also you have a very good chance of getting a 22 pound mirror of the surface!!!

[@stephenthorpe8142]

River Tyne epic ... had a few off there.. you should pay a visit to the Moy in Ireland one day especially beginning of may for the springers.. they knock lumps out of ya

[@iandoherty7895]

I like the way u guys interact with ur fans and that is just unreal💯💯👌🏻

[@fishwithcarl]

+Ian Doherty if people put the effort in to be kind and leave a comment then we feel we should put the effort in to respond to everyone! :)

[@simonharkness4522]

This is definitely your best film to date. You should get back on it next year and try get one on the fly!

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Simon! Glad you enjoyed, deffo guna have to try on the fly again when it's not so windy!

[@simonharkness4522]

James is an excellent guide. He'll certainly put you onto fish again! If you get out June/July or October those are your best chance months. June/July the majority of fresh Grilse run, while in October most fish have entered the upper reaches of the river. I used to mainly fly fish for trout but now im hooked on salmon!

[@1uke4eva]

Wow! I need to go Salmon fishing one day!!!! Awesome video quality and content!!

[@sneakybaitsfishingadventur3055]

great video, i'm gonna follow from now on! nice channel!!!

[@Santorinifresh]

Another epic video. Congrats lads!!

[@oliverprice2349]

Great video guys all the fish you caught were fantastic keep the hard work up

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Oliver :)

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it! We are making 100s other videos too on our channel ;)

[@axelbjrnpedersen3802]

I am subscribing your channel👍🏽👍🏽❤️

[@gus_mcg]

What equipment you using for these fish, rod size, what kind of reels, breaking strane of line

[@PI7ABR3D]

great video again guys, i always wish they were longer :) ..ain't been out for 2 months now and watching these...... it's killing me lol

[@fishwithcarl]

Haha thanks mate, I guess it's better that you wish they were longer, than getting bored and wishing they were shorter! lol . best of luck when you do get out though dude!

[@PI7ABR3D]

Carl and Alex Fishing Hehe very true, can't see me getting bored of them though..am patiently waiting for the next "Fell in the water again" video lol. Best of luck to you guys too

[@NashTVFrance]

Great fishing and video mates! :)

[@timtownsend7713]

Great vid guys, glad u enjoyed the North!!!

[@fishwithcarl]

Yeah people told us it were 'grim up north' but they were WRONG!!

[@hookemups6710]

4 In a day.. Treasure that. Made me smile.Thanks for posting.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thank you! It was a session to remember that's for sure!!

[@Reelfishinguk]

Epic lads have to say thats up there with your best videos, and nice to see carl getting on the bigger ones

[@fishwithcarl]

Sure does make a change eh! ;) lol

[@oIOSh0rtyOIo]

So much passion in this vid, great job!

[@jamesdoyle3885]

Powerful fish these salmon, wouldn't mind catching one myself! Adding to bucket list...... Nice video chaps, tight lines...

[@fishwithcarl]

Salmon are pretty amazing!

[@tst698]

Quick question: I let somebody borrow my lure rod and they hooked a pike and after a few seconds they handed the rod to me and I played it and landed it. Should I claim this as my fish or would you say it’s the guy who hooked its fish??? I am unsure what to do as if I was to claim it, it would be my first ever pike?? Many thanks, Tom

[@fishwithcarl]

I would say who ever lands the fish it's there catch. But it depends on your own opinion, if you don't feel like you deserve the catch, then go back and try and get one yourself! It's always more rewarding when you put in the effort yourself, but sometimes it's all about team work! 😃

[@barneyrichardson4071]

The way you edit your videos is so beautiful, awesome video's guys.

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks Barney! We spend weeks editing a video like this, so really glad you like it!! :) Cheers!!

[@barneyrichardson4071]

yea I can tell man, didn't you study film or something? because they're so just perfect, a joy to watch bro

[@samhirst7331]

Did you ever do anymore salmon fishing ?? I've been fishing a new river this year, and I'd been catching salmon parr without realising, now I know, I'm kind of obsessed and want to catch a bigger one. Hence why I'm scouring through YT for salmon videos 🤣 regular viewer aswell so good to watch an older vid of you guys man. Hoping I find another video, if not, you should defo try and get another one made 😁

[@fishwithcarl]

Hi Sam, I actually did a little bit last week, but that's for the huge week-long multi species challenge I just filmed. That'll be coming soon, It was mega, and forgot how fun salmon fishing is. Oh wow that's so cool, what river's that?

[@samhirst7331]

@@fishwithcarl first and foremost thanks for taking the time to reply to a comment on a 5yr old video. Really appreciate it. Can't wait for the multi species challenge vid...I've seen your posts on social media. Is that the actual challenge run by the Angling Trust or have you just tasked yourself with catching as many species as possible ? Haha And it's the river wharfe in West Yorkshire. Was taking my lad there whenever we can get down. Catching loads of coarse fish. I've had some nice trout. And my lad has had his first chub....I'd posted some pics on fb and then several weeks later someone commented saying it was a salmon parr.....turns out I'd had a few without realising..went back on Sunday and caught 2 more salmon parr with a load of course fish....I'm determined to find myself a proper salmon now.....just didn't think salmon fishing was all that great in England these days.

[@fishwithcarl]

No worries Sam, you're welcome! Yess was mad, but so fun. Yeah exactly, wanted to try to tick off everything in the book haha! No, not the Angling Trust one. Ah wow, nice! Would love to explore more of Yorkshire. Yes, they look so similar to tiny brown trout! No it's not really, once those parr go to the sea they'll become larger and fingers crossed make it back up the rivers. This year was tough going as the drought it made it harder for salmon to migrate up the river. It is usually best up North and in Scotland :)

[@samhirst7331]

@@fishwithcarl proper can't wait for the vid man looking forward to it. Content is still amazing keep it up. Get your sen up for a week..beautiful scenery and some absolutely cracking fishing to be had..on both still and running water. I used to watch discovery Channel as a kid on Saturday mornings..I remember the alaskan salmon videos back then but kind of forgot about salmon tbh..catching these parr has reinvigorated me. Be hard to find a bigger one but if there's smaller ones making their way down stream, there's gotta be the bigger ones coming up it..looks hard work does salmon fishing but I'm bloody determined lad. If you ever do come up to Yorkshire give me a shout pal.

[@peterjohnston4472]

Make sure those par all go back un harmed bro tight lines

Hey fellas, thank you for the video, I’ve been trying to catch a king the last two years hopefully this is my year

[@skunkhead2007]

great vid magic river ! though some salmon do stray hence how rivers like the mersey/tees and rhine are now getting salmon runs back.sat nav ;-) great description as the fish stocked by the ure salmon hatchery do exactly this but when they leave the humber estuary instead of heading north they go south then across some where near anglia way on to mainland europe then head NORTH significance of this is the last time any salmon did this was when the uk was joined to mainland europe....these fish head to the faoroes...hence the injection if huge trent and yorks ouse fish....

[@marcusdeboer8676]

nice video lads, did you fish with a day ticket on the river? If so how much does it cost on the Tyne?

[@ReptiChat]

[@joenzzzieswd6321]

One thing I’d be interested in, how did salmon spread if they only breed where they spawned?

[@ivanbrunettini1150]

do more salmon fishing videos please!! nice work ;)

Do you need a permit to fish these waters?

Try dead oak fishery in Essex it's got quite a lot of carp to 28lb and a catfish in one lake and other fish like perch,bream and loads other

[@cucksonsgaming6662]

plz make longer videos like the park lake campaign plz keep up the good work love your videos

[@fishwithcarl]

A long video like park lake campaign literally takes 6 months to film and edit, we would love to make them all the time, but there isnt enough time in the year! Whilst we are working on a big video, we try and keep people entertained with ones like this, and all the short videos on our Extra Channel :)

[@Nicholasyeahbruh]

That would be awesome to visit and salmon fish there

[@IanTed]

My local river, some super sea trout too...and chub, but nobody fishes for them.

[@TheCarpTrails]

great stuff as usual lads, you must come back down farlows this winter and give it a go ;)

[@fishwithcarl]

Thanks dude, yeah think we might have to give it another try :)

[@marcleblanc6293]

It's interesting you can use lures there.....here in Canada's east coast it's fly fishing only for Atlantic's.

[@lukearnall5758]

what spinner/ lure do you use for the salmon? any recommendations?

[@fishwithcarl]

We were using jointed Rapala lures, but I'm sure a large spoon or spinner would do good too :)

[@StelmachsWorld]

You and that Jamie guy should come to Niagara Falls one year for the run! A couple miles downstream from the falls is a whirlpool where all the king salmon and trout spawn. They get up to 40 lbs and fight too good with the current they deal with all day

[@fishwithcarl]

That sounds mega!

[@StelmachsWorld]

Kinda a random question, but I caught this big brown trout from the wild and I wanted to get it into an angling magazine, what the hell do I do?

[@rickysimmonds2681]

I love bobber fishing salmon but fighting them is almost boring now on normal gear the fly setup is so much harder to control the fish and set your drag right. Just don’t see why anyone would do anything other than fly fish salmon lol.
