Good stuff

[@tomlargy8814]

Vinnie, I'm envious. Good for you to get over there.

[@floydalwon9087]

Enjoyed the video and "catching up" with you too.

[@roberta.k4213]

Good for you fishing in Scotland man! Nice video as well.

[@aldomcgowan6561]

Brilliant video we do have some good rivers here

[@gavinthompson1691]

Hello Vince, great video... loving the tackle, but that lady grace fly looks something special. Old school. Do you have the tying materials?

[@vincemacfarlane9724]

Golden pheasant breast for the tail after you put in a silver tinsel tag. Body is orange, red, fiery brown and blue seal in four sections. A yellow Guinea feather over the blue seal and two turns of red for the hackle. The wing is yellow goose shoulder tent style on top.

Thanks for the kind words!!! 👍

@@vincemacfarlane9724 perfect, thanks for getting back to me 👍🎣

I'm looking to fish the Spey and Findhorn. Who did you book your trip through?

[@vincemacfarlane9724]

Yea! I used Fishpal and booked everything on that web sight. I stayed in Grantown when I fished the Spey. When I was fishing the Findhorn I stayed in the city of Inverness… so I had about a 45 min drive the two days I fished the Findhorn.

Where are you from Barry? When are you going?

[@Barry287]

I live in Wisconsin. I would like to go in late summer and combine it with a trip to Ireland to fish the River Moy in Ballina.

[@vincemacfarlane9724]

I fished the Moy in Ballina in 2018 Pretty cool! Lots of Pubs in the area. City fishing! Check out the Mourne river in Donegal. I got a couple there.

[@vincemacfarlane9724]

If you need flies let me know. Or even just recommendations 👍

[@billytheghillie]

At 4.00 mins you just broke that fishes back lifting it like that. Maybe do it in America, but we have more respect for our quarry over here.

[@steveg8322]

North America practiced C and R long before the British Isles;FACT.

[@vincemacfarlane9724]

The fish swam away just fine also :) Didn’t show it but I wet my hands before tailing him 🤷🏻‍♂️. Rarely have a problem tailing Salmon.

[@robertbishop2732]

Nice video but could do without the music.

[@vincemacfarlane9724]

Is it music in general or the wonky cheep music I found on the internet? I’m actually thinking of using some of my own music. I play a little fiddle and guitar. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@robertbishop2732]

@@vincemacfarlane9724 That music mainly. Hard rock, fast tempo stuff (in my highly unqualified “old fart” opinion at least🙄) just doesn’t seem to fit with fly fishing generally. The hard rock stuff seems to go with scruffy guys high-fiving and chest bumping after landing a salmon instead of quietly appreciating the wonderful experience they just had. A bit of fiddle and guitar would probably be nice.

[@vincemacfarlane9724]

Thanks Robert!

[@Rod1Malkin]

I agree re the music being off-putting. I'm from British Columbia, so really like seeing fly fishing from the home of the Sport, the Tradition, the Mecca, 'Scotland' for us all.... For me, sounds of the waters, the flora and fauna would be best, or your comments etc. Perhaps here and there some tasteful natural music of Scotland.... blah blah blah..IMHO of course!
