Salmon Safari Special: The River Dee

[@eyeintheskiesdavid9277]

My kind of music all day long and a great river looks picturesque and could hold some big beautiful fish thanks for sharing big like from me 🤝🇮🇪

[@abakerslife]

Nice one, glad you enjoyed it.

[@ryanloughlin154]

My new favourite channel, a bakers life. River dee, beautiful spot. I lived in dinnet for a while. From Ireland

[@abakerslife]

Cheers, I hope you did plenty of fishing while you were there!

[@davidramsay2173]

A piece of water I know very well indeed, absolutely love the place. Good luck next time out!

[@abakerslife]

Many thanks- wish it hadn't rained on day two so I could have had a better go at it.

[@jeffreysheehan7472]

Enjoying all your videos from the USA. I hope to swing flies on those rivers soon. Enjoy!

[@abakerslife]

Greetings from the UK. You better get across here quickly before there isn't anything left to swing flies for!!

[@jeffreysheehan7472]

I hear you brother. I’ve been Spey Casting for Stripers on Cape Cod MA. It’s a different sport altogether. Iceland? Norway? The North of Ireland? Thanks for replying to my comment. I enjoy your videos and how you prepare your meals on the two burner. Karla has to be the best companions ever. She is so well behaved. Two handed fly rods: CF Burkheimer and Farlex tells are my favorites. Enjoy

[@thedoggedangler]

Thanks for sharing and well done for utter dedication and perseverance fishing into the darkness!! Surely you didnt eat all that dinner lol!

[@abakerslife]

I have a healthy appetite. Catch or die trying!

[@davidbarker-ft5re]

Great film... I love that beat and will be there in 3 weeks time.. Never caught on the Dee but my wife had a lovely 14lber last year from the Bell pool, followed by a flight in a glider from the Aboyne airfield opposite where you were fishing.. Tight Lines !!

[@abakerslife]

Glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully you get back on parity with your wife next time you fish there.

[@TheSpeyman]

Love your videos, sound of the water and you casting. I notice you've started casting with your off hand . Neat.

[@abakerslife]

Glad you're enjoying them. I try too avoid casting left hand up if I can because of a shoulder issue but some situations obviously demand it.

[@garyjohnson4778]

Ha, ha, very relaxing listening to Williamson's Salar the Salmon.

[@abakerslife]

The more times I listen to that the more I realise it is a work of art.

[@fishwithandy]

Great Video , wow that looks good value 60 quid to fish somewhere like that , can't wait to see more

[@abakerslife]

I thought it was well priced and lovely water to fish

[@ToshBrendansHome.jnrmalone]

Braw video, braw music, good luck for the rest of the season 🎣🎣 . Tight lines…..

[@abakerslife]

Many thanks mate

[@magnetchi]

Awesome video. What a great place to fish on. Better luck next time to catch the big one 👍👊

[@abakerslife]

Many thanks, fingers crossed.

Some feed!! 😋🔥 Looking forward to the next video... 'you got to be Dinnet to win it' 😁😁

[@abakerslife]

Very good!

[@Graham-1888]

Great choice of music! Rivers are up and down like a yo-yo up here, that bit of the Dee is lovely its just a shame it was a wash out.

[@abakerslife]

It seems to be the same story everywhere. I'm out locally tomorrow so hopefully no more rain is coming.

[@Cuban-cigar]

Brilliant my man luv yer videos n ye cany beat tha auld triangle 👍🏻

[@abakerslife]

Nice one, cheers

[@scottdavidson359]

Great video again, unfortunately no fish this time, lovely looking beat though. Your don't half eat well Rob. Hopefully you'll pick one up at Dinnet. So pleased to hear Karla is doing ok. Cheers 👍

[@abakerslife]

Cheers Scott

[@alexpeters1080]

Good plan to mainly concentrate locally. Building up a wealth of knowledge takes time. Its nice to have holiday fishing but if you actually want to catch fish like a local fish locally lol. I fish the Yorkshire Ouse/ Ure for em and know lies up and down the river now. Apart from kipper fishing the best of it is over by July as its what Hugh Falkus would have described as a "big spring run river". Ideally id move onto another river from June/july onwards that has runs of fish in summer and back end.

[@Ian-xl2xf]

It's the way to go now these days a van cooking. Bed. TV. Fishing yehaaa. It's the life

[@abakerslife]

It certainly is!

[@FraserCheyne]

As a chef I loved the kinda surf n turf thing you had going in the two pans, if perfection was the aim I'd have less ingredients but hey if you're hungry? I'm sure it'd taste good enough. A bit of garlic would go good in there and a thing called Maggi liquid seasoning. It's a yeast extract and a loose liquid, soy sauce, it and tabasco combine well with king prawns done in garlic butter. Anyhow I digress, your grub is good enough. Your fishing is too, keep em coming mate

[@abakerslife]

I definitely will pass on adding Maggi to my scran mate. I'm just happy to make do with what I pick up on the way to fishing.

[@FraserCheyne]

@@abakerslife tabasco not tobacco jeeso! See these phone contraptions, they print whatever they want lol

Hope you catch soon tight lines

[@mikegallagher1967]

do you like the wolfetones. try their music. great vid by the way

[@abakerslife]

I gave them a listen thanks

[@nanookrob]

I like the videos- what rod are you using?

[@abakerslife]

Thanks, I use a Hardy Ultralite 13'6 8/9wt

[@garyjohnson4778]

Simms G 3 or G 4;s or Orvis Pros are the only way to go.

[@billytheghillie]

Why play Irish music when heading to Gods playground, Scotland?

[@steve-no4gi]

Was looking for this comment should have been playing the corries 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Graham-1888]

Aye he should have had the proclaimers on and eating shortbread with a jimmy hat and kilt on eh 😂😂 His choice in music was perfect imo but he did sing Donald wheres yer troosers at one point to keep you happy 😂

[@steve-no4gi]

It's Irish music not Scottish end of

[@abakerslife]

The Bay City Rollers wouldn't have created the same feeling. Tbh though I did ask myself that question but that was the music I was listening to on the way up so I went with it. When I eventually make it to Ireland I will play Sunshine on Leith to redress the balance.

[@Graham-1888]

@steve-no4gi who cares ? His van his music his video, a bit ridiculous hes getting moaned at for not playing scottish music just because hes in Scotland. Its all about the fishing and watching a man and his dog having adventures together, enjoy the videos and don't let the music get to you, personally i love it 😉🇮🇪🍀

[@alexpeters1080]

Paying a fortune to fish somewhere you've gotta pack in at 5pm. And no fishing on Sunday. I think I'll stick to fishing club stretches in England thanks. Scotland seems a bit crap.

[@Gamefishing111]

Aye it’s total shite,,just you stay down there and fish the canals,,I will fish the findhorn for 150 a year 😂

[@garyjohnson4778]

Yeah, when are they going to catch up with the 21st century. It must really rankle with tourism operators, hotels and such.

[@Gamefishing111]

@@garyjohnson4778 yeah gets on my tits mate,350 seals they say around findhorn bay now and I saw a picture today of a gossander with a brood of 24 chicks!! On a river somewhere,anyways there was a decent run of fish went through last week we picked off one each,next time your heading north let us know and we’ll get a day with scott the piper in tow 👍

[@abakerslife]

I fish club stretches in England all the time. Pretty much obsessively but I'm still prepared to make the journey north from time to time because some rivers are just a pure pleasure to fish.

[@Gamefishing111]

@@abakerslife anytime you fancy a day mate just let me know we have the Nairn the conon the ness and the association water in the Helmsdale all with 1 hour or so of me,we can share one of those nice cigars 🤫 💨 🐟

[@MarkOConnor-w1w]

Went salmon fishing in Scotland. Cooked steak. Haha. Those rivers not what they were..

[@abakerslife]

Even back in the good old days you could blank and get washed off

[@michaelspencer6318]

cant believe you didnt wash that pak choi !

[@abakerslife]

I lived to tell the tale

[@Gamefishing111]

The reason there catching so far up the river is because those seals have chased a lot of kelts back upstream and the spring fish like to stop in pools with kelts in them,hence the spring fish so far upstream,they need shit those bastard things

[@Gamefishing111]

Hello 👋,,still loving the videos,watch out for the two seals in the Dee there running amok 🤦🏻
