Thanks for watching Ian! 🙏

[@thedoggedangler]

Great video of your trip and efforts, congratulations ae in order for you braving the elements and persevering in what most likely was a rising river! Some really nice looking bits of water and looked very fishy! thanks for producing and for sharing Robert!

[@robertdoesfishing]

That’s very kind, thanks very much for watching and glad you enjoyed the vlog! I’d definitely go back and maybe explore some different beats on the water. It’s very wild at parts! 👍🎣

Great video again the orchy is a stunning river have driven along it a few times heading to fish the awe and the hill lochs at glen coe

[@robertdoesfishing]

Thanks for watching Neil, glad you enjoyed the video. It’s definitely one of the most scenic places I’ve had a cast 🎣👍

[@soultrader57fishingandmusi25]

Well done, Robert! Great resilience and determination there, I wish i had the patience for salmon fishing! Possibly the most scenic river in UK! I was expecting a pull at every swing! Never mind, always next time?? 👍👍

[@robertdoesfishing]

Yes it’s definitely one of the most scenic places I’ve wet a line. Always next time and what can I say, I love the thrill of the chase 😂👍🎣

[@davidgray3321]

Looked a lovely river, good tip, if you get a pull re cast of course, if that doesn’t work back up (go upstream) only say 5 yards and keeping the same length of line fish back down the same as before staying the same distance from the bank. If that doesn’t work wait say 20 minutes and try again. If none of that works carry on fishing down the river in the usual way, there will be other fish. Enjoyed this film, thank you.

@@davidgray3321 hi David, thanks very much for the tip. Glad you enjoyed the video 😊🎣

[@Hookedonfly]

Good video Robert, shame that fish didn’t stack! Welcome to the club 😂 You will get them next time!

[@robertdoesfishing]

Fingers crossed Tam, thanks very much for watching 🎣🤘

[@janseyfarth9489]

Hey Boab, Simon watching from Thailand here, hope all is well mate! I've been over here chilling and watching Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing and gotten right into fishing and saw you posted these!😂 Videos are brilliant, loved the shots and editing into the intro, nice one mate!

[@robertdoesfishing]

Hey mate! Great to hear from you and hope you are well!! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoy the vlogs. Do you get any fishing done over there? 🤘🎣

[@janseyfarth9489]

@@robertdoesfishing Not much unfortunately mate, been to a few fishing lakes when we've been on weekends outside of the city and stuff, but its so hot, even just walking the dog for a half an hour is enough of the heat 😂. Think the Scottish climate is perfect for it, will keep following your vids mate, all the best and good luck!

[@paulblackwildfishing8686]

Weather was a bit wild for ye lad wasn't it....fair play for enduring those conditions, just a pity that fish didn't stick. Great footage of that fish coming out of the water. Another great video lad👏👏👏

[@robertdoesfishing]

Thanks for watching Paul, aye they don’t all stick do they? Suppose that keeps things interesting 😂 Hope you are well and managing to get out to wet a line 🤝🎣👍

[@paulblackwildfishing8686]

@@robertdoesfishing this weekend hopefully sir if this water keeps up

[@zanderdaukantas4155]

Another good video🎣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I lost two fish recently, one on the lower Dee association water and one on the river Feugh association water🥲

[@robertdoesfishing]

Unlucky Zander here’s hoping the next one makes it to the net. Thanks for watching pal 👍

[@FraserCheyne]

Always wanted to fish the orchy! I shall do next year. I'd avoided most western rivers as they've been absolutely devastated by the fish farms but I suppose it's not just the catching of fish, it's being there.

[@robertdoesfishing]

Absolutely Fraser can’t beat having a cast in absolutely stunning surroundings. There’s definitely fish there 🎣👍

[@FraserCheyne]

@@robertdoesfishing I've no doubt there's fish but there should be so many you see them all over the river. It's horrendous to think how these rivers have gone from pristine salmon rivers renowned for great catches every week to what wee see today. That said I'm sure I'll still have a go. Around 1988 on the irvine - not the vest river but anyway, you could be fishing 3 mikes from the sea and set your watch by the salmon starting to jump from the last tide. Two seasons ago I saw one salmon show in the whole season on the irvine sadly. The west coast really has had it bad. This season all of scotland has seen better catches compared to the last few years so there's hope still, I'm researching ways I can chip in to help as I speak.

[@davidquinn7144]

Had a few fish off upper Craig but better when the river is on the drop . Pulpit is a great pool that gives a few fish if you go back give it a try .dangerous river be careful .

Why does everyone moan about Scottish weather it’s fantastic that our variable climate is still with us.considering what we are doing to the planet.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
