Fabulous...love his calming voice in the narration,very similar to the old Peter O'Reilly videos from back in the day,wonderful, uncomplicated fishing

Hi William, thanks for the comment and tight lines.

[@raymondodelmundo]

Lovely to see your sportsmanship releasing the fish, means that there are fish in our rivers in the future

[@MrKingfisher3]

Thanks for the comment. I release almost all my salmon bar one every season and have been doing this for decades but it's sad to see people taking coloured fish. They have survived the journey and are just waiting to spawn so let them go.

Well done Mr Hanley.

[@MrKingfisher3]

Thanks for the comment.

Beautiful fish, nice catch and release

[@MrKingfisher3]

Thanks for the comment.

You did well to hold him on a 3lb tippet. Like all your videos too, keep it up

[@MrKingfisher3]

Thanks Brendan, that's why I chose the net as I hate leaving flies etc in fish.

Great catch on a dry fly paul... is there many salmon running the system

[@MrKingfisher3]

Especially on a size 18, no the run has been slow but there are a few fresh fish showing up now mainly grilse. If the water stays at a reasonable running height it should improve.

Mr otter was licking his lips. LOL.

[@MrKingfisher3]

I was talking to him later that evening and I have video to prove it which I will show in the next video, but the mink is the one in this video. Thanks Vincent.

Great video Paul. Are you still night fishing for seatrout, I'm having great sport with them on light tackle.

[@MrKingfisher3]

Still at it Mark, getting out as much as I can.

[@oranoneill5381]

Is this on the Shannon ?

[@MrKingfisher3]

No its on the lee river in Cork.

[@oranoneill5381]

MrKingfisher3 my mistake a salmon like that would be a rare sight on Shannon water these days anyhow

[@johnkenny694]

Paul, i saw a video of a guy down in Argentina get a 35lb sea trout on a size 18 fly.

[@MrKingfisher3]

Impressive, if he was using a size 18 fly he must have only had 6X tippet on so it has to be a world record.

Any link to that video?
