The new rod will not last long if you treat it like that when your fly gets stuck 🤨

[@wappietamtam6546]

You are right about thatf or sure.

Nice one Chris

[@thedoggedangler]

Excellent video as usual, very impressed by that beautiful beat (and Iain the Ghillie!). The water looks very very good and I must check it out! Thanks for producing and sharing!

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Stunningly beautiful countryside.

[@simonpeters3499]

Love the 'Outake' at the end!! 😂😂

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Thanks for watching until the end 👍

[@GrantDudgeon-rp9to]

Brilliant video Chris. New subscriber here & Life long friend of Ian and his family. Have fished this beat a few times. Ian is a top and very helpful ghillie would highly recommend. Look forward to more videos. Tight lines 👍🏻

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Hey thanks for subscribing Grant, Ian is a top guy, very genuine and the beat is great 👍

[@tomjones7593]

We have all been there-point the rod at the snagged fly and either handline or walk/wade backwards; turn your face away unless you've glasses because these things can fly like a .22 bullet when they decide to. Alternative is that you could damage a lovely rod-or your face ! That said thanks for the video-looked like a lovely beat , small enough that I could maybe manage it.

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Maybe i should have featured the whole 10 minute battle doing everything you said. In fact it could have been a whole video itself. 🤣🤣

[@CF_Fishing]

Great video. Lovely beat I fished it earlier season was very impressed. Ian is great guy. Sadly I've not been able to get back.

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

You'd love it Colin. Did you get any joy on the Stinchar the day after we fished Upper Redgorton?

[@CF_Fishing]

@CornishChrisTheFish no nothing . Plus Friday there river was big but fishable got to a nice height in evening. Someone got 1 1 mile upstream at knockdolian in the evening and same guy got another yesterday in perfect water.

[@Luggiefrank]

Really enjoyed that fishing trip. The new rod looks terrific to cast, and definitely looking forward to your day's on the mighty Tay. I believe you used to have to live in Perthshire to get the PDAA ticket, certainly thinking about it for next season..tight lines Chris

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Glad you enjoyed it. Yes that new rod is crazy good. PDAA tickets now available to everyone. 👍

[@clivebevan]

Hi Chris casting better with the new rod, looks a nice stretch of river

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Thanks 👍

[@Hardlinesangling]

Looks like another great beat to fish Chris.

Vice vid mate😊

[@roberthall4]

Great video. I am planning to come the the Tay this August. Where can I email you for a conversation?

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Thanks, i hope you enjoy your trip and tight lines. If you want to chat best way is via Instagram CornishChrisTheFish 👍

[@wallace500001]

Why not handline it ?

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

I did, it didn't work

[@thetattooedangler]

One of the first salmon beats I ever cast a line too and blanked on. A lovely place to wet a line, but I will admit that I flinched when you tried to rip the fly out of that snag. Please never do that again.

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Yeah I quite agree 👍
