[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Thanks very much 👍

[@magnetchi]

Awesome video again 👍👊

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Thanks for watching again 🙂

[@norman5202]

Great stuff I love your never say die attitude. As long as you have the fly in the water there is a chance. Tight lines from AUS

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Thanks for watching Norman. There's always a chance if your lines in the water. I know there's fewer fiah coming through now buy we've seen a lot over the past couple of weeks entering the river.

[@ianhealey4181]

Lovely fish, congratulations. Keep the videos coming, it gives all inspiration.

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Thanks for watching, hopefully we manage a few more this season. 👍

[@stuartcrow1362]

Top class as always Ian Very nice fish

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Thanks Stuart, hopefully more to come thus season. 👍

[@Hardlinesangling]

Beauty of a fish well done. Getting in amoungst them now. They are still teasing me so far this season.

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Thanks Toby, yeah getting a few now. 4 this week, only two on camera unfortunately. A lot of fish coming into the Tay system everyday, we're seeing them come in at the bottom end. You'll catch up with one soon enough. Just keep plugging away.

[@Hardlinesangling]

@scottishoutdoorlife only thing I can do atm lol. Won't have too much chance in the next few weeks unfortunately. Hopefully have a few goes on our club water soon. Will try and get a day or two on the Tay this year. Well done on the 4 for the week.

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

@hardlinesangling thanks. Yeah I'm just getting a couple of hours here and there. Thankfully its paid off and bumped into a few.

[@davep2322]

enjoyed that Ian, well done, a well deserved fish....

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Thanks for watching Dave. I was pleased with that one after sticking out the weather 👍

[@FraserCheyne]

I remember that happening to my reels and it was either a ball bearing or the cog and pin were loosely together in other words worn

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Thanks, I'll take a look. Only a year and a bit old so hopefully not worn already.

[@FraserCheyne]

@@scottishoutdoorlife ooft, that's bad, I think it puts the shaft out of line with the toothed cog and therefor as you complete a turn of the handle at different points you exert different forces so it contacts then slips then contacts then slips on the cog. Bad design or poor materials is whatvit sounds like but you might be able to upgrade a part or parts. Usually the thing that's attached to the shaft or spindle is plastic and therein lies the weakness. I used to know what the bits were called- all spinning reels work about the same way, or they did do when I last took some apart.

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

@FraserCheyne thanks for the info. I'm not too competent with the engineering. I have a few that have small issues, I might send them away to get them fixed

[@johnstonstewart7950]

Fantastic beat , well done 👍

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Lovely beat, one of my favourite pools too, thanks for watching

[@Chrisp-tr9fq]

Watching you wade in to the middle of the tay without a care still amazes me😮another great video and a cracking fish!thanks for sharing 👏

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Thanks for watching. I've been wading the Tay since I was 10. Although I funnily now take a stick in the really awkward spots. Didn't used to but I find my balance even at 43 isn't what it was 🤣

[@RichardL291]

Love the tronach. It’s a great pool

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

It is both banks fish really well. One of my favourites on the river. Thanks for watching 👍

[@stiofain4693]

Lovely salmon, well done

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Thanks 👍

[@mitchell1804]

He who perceivers !

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

It's definitely the case with salmon fishing these days. Thanks for watching 👍

[@colinjohnston5465]

Great stuff getting a fish. The handy thing with the rain is that you don't need to fall in to get wet! As for sticking your backside up in the air when the lighting is flashing about, I think I will leave that one to you to try out and you can let us know how you get on.

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

🤣 I think it rather hide under the trees again. It was absolutely pouring although I was surprisingly dry at the end of the day. My jacket must be holding up well. 👍

[@colinjohnston5465]

@@scottishoutdoorlife Glad to hear your jacket is holding out. You really can't have too many good jackets. I keep telling my wife that you need one for every eventuality. In summer it has to be lightweight and fully waterproof for thunderstorms, lightweight for just normal rain and a third 1 for when there just might be showers or it's iffy. Spring and Autumn need at least 3 each and it is different cold/warm in Spring and Autumn. Warmer Winters make your choice of jacket tricky so maybe 4 or 5 or more depending on which field+sport you are participating in. That said, none of them are lightning proof.

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

@colinjohnston5465 to true, if only there was a bottomless bank account to go with it.

[@jamesgreig4805]

Nice one.👍

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Thanks James 👍

[@DavidBrown-po3fv]

Superb casting big fella!!. Can I ask your set up? Beautiful fish and a great beat.

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Morning, thanks for watching. My set up is a 15ft Loomis NRX, a Rio Long Head Spey Floater. I had 5ft of Airflo slow sink tip and a size 10 partridge patriot cascade variant of my own tying on.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Two fish in two days that’s great , the water looked like it was at a nice flow . Always a dilemma when you are fishing with lightning around. Do I stay out in the open or hide , hide :-) How do you like the NRX ? Thanks for taking us along 🥃

[@DavidBrown-po3fv]

Thanks for that big fella. All the best to you and the young fella. Tight lines for the rest of the season 👍👍👍​@@scottishoutdoorlife

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

@DavidBrown-po3fv thanks David and to you 👍

[@ROSSLINDEN0]

Ive had a few shimanos with that same issue, now only use them for worming

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Not sure what it is. They just don't make anything to last these days unfortunately. Thanks for watching 👍

[@seanmurray4154]

How many grams is the toby you use ? And great video

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Hi thanks for watching, it's a 28g Abu Toby. Better for casting further and sits higher in the water for fishing over shallower ridges etc. 👍

[@HunterSW1]

Are you allowed to spin fish salmon on the tay?

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Not all beats allow spinning but most of the lower beats will spin just due to the size of the river especially in higher water. Many of the pools can't be fly fished. Thanks for watching 👍

[@billymacneil3839]

Nice fish what fly ya using were still waiten for a good rain there hangin around off shore of the rivers i raised one Wed but no take.

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Hi Billy, I was using one of my own tying. It is a dark cascade variant size10. Hopefully you get some water soon.

[@ivorbexon4030]

Try putting some petroleum jelly in the gears,it could do the trick.

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Thanks, I'll give it a go. I have a spare spool for it and it's that which is rattling so I'll try and swap it over as well. Thanks for watching 👍

[@dondle2]

Great stuff young fella, but used to be much more fun 50 years ago when you could eat what you caught.

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

Thanks for watching, yes I agree. They certainly are tasty. Hopefully one day numbers will recover enough we can take one or two a year.

[@ianhogg7064]

With respect , why do you fish for Salmon when you cant keep them?

[@Hammster_MCR]

Same reason you fish for any other species 😊

[@davidsammels2124]

Horrible days weather but catching a nice fresh fish makes it a great day, well done 👏👏

[@davidquinn7144]

Makes it all worthwhile. Summer fishing in Scotland lol.

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

As they become rarer the quest is more attractive. Thanks for watching 👍

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

The fistlh of 10,000 casts, now is so alluring.

[@mikegallagher1967]

No sound.. or is it just me

[@donaldmackechnie7965]

I had sound ok

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

I have sound thanks. 👍

[@scottishoutdoorlife]

So did I 👍

[@Hammster_MCR]

Turn up the volume 😊
