[@theanglingfront]

Class mate, just about to start watching the video. Hopefully this will be a good summer on the west coast for the salmon run

[@robertdoesfishing]

Finger crossed pal, whilst the spring hasn't been amazing, I've certainly heard or more fish than usual being caught so hopefully a good sign.

Nice mate 😊😊

[@robertdoesfishing]

I was down barskimming Monday 11ft oracle switch 550g skagit and running line with intermediate tip 10ft. Was fishing and casting effortlessly but still no fish lol. Keep going is all I could say.

[@robertdoesfishing]

Cheers Fraser, aye that all we can do keep at it. Eventually something will grab the fly. Persistence and perseverance is the name of the game . Good to know the line your using, I have a 11ft 7/8 Shakey Oracle which I'm currently using with a John Norris Integrated switch line with a 375gr head and its kinda hit and miss for me when Spay casting with it. But I like having the option of single handed overhead casting with it too. Im all about the versatility :)

[@FraserCheyne]

@@robertdoesfishing I find a heavier head works so much better. I don't go by the book so to speak, I buy cheap (ebay chinese made) skagits of different weights and see which does the job then you can stick to that or buy a premium line of the same weight and length.

If the river is fast and dirty whoud have made more sense spinning with light colour spinner

[@alexpeters1080]

Youre doin a combination of single and double spey casts, rather than the actual cast in the first pool. If it was working for you id of not said owt.

[@robertdoesfishing]

Thanks for your observation. Rewatched to see what you meant and can’t see me attempting any cast other than a double spey for the first 15 mins of the video? 🤷‍♂️
