Thanks for the comment and hopefully you can achieve that ambition before end of season.

I'm looking to begin fishing a similar size river for Salmon. The Roe in Derry, spate river. It has alot of overhanging trees. In regards rod set up I'm not sure of the Shakespreare Oracle Scandi 12'9 #8 or a Switch Rod. What would you recommend? What line setup? Many thanks, great videos.

[@MrKingfisher3]

I'd go with the Scandi as the switch is only good for summer low water fishing, in high water and good salmon size you'll be under pressure to hold them with a switch. But you can always have 2 rods one for spring fishing, basically heavy tips and tube flies and the switch for summer, intermediate or tapered tips for low water. I have 2 a spring rod for floods and springers and my switch for everything after May.

@@MrKingfisher3 Many thank for the help. I ended up going with the Shakespreare Oracle Scandi 12'9 #8. Now I'm trying to decide on a line. I have read online that the following lines are a good match - RIO SCANDI SHORT VERSITIP KIT, RIO Intouch Scandi Outbound Line or the Gaelforce Equalizer ESSS Switch & Short Spey. I've only ever cast a single hander for Brown Trout. I'm going to call into the tackle shop next week to see what they advise, but it would be great to know your thoughts.

What’s the best water type for salmon fishing with a flying c

[@MrKingfisher3]

Hi Darren all water types are good for spinning but they must have salmon. In low water just drop spinner size from a size 4 flying c to maybe a size 2 or 3 . If the water is slow a very under rated spinner for salmon a size 1 silver mepps can be deadly. I know a lot of trout anglers that catch salmon on mepps so its worth having a couple in your tackle box especially for low water summer conditions. Grilse also like the action of a mepps.
