Atlantic Salmon Fishing Basics | How To

[@theARcritter]

At 8:22 a fish jumps right behind him as he’s talking, perfect timing! Just caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye.

Place looks stunning.

[@mkaykaykayy]

Thanks for the info. Decided I’m going to get back into fishing. Never done fly fishing before. Based in Scotland so got some choice. Subscribed. Cheers 😁

Great video Bill 👍🎣. Really like the review on casting techniques . And the flie patterns 😉

[@joeduca8582]

That was great! I learned some things and it refreshed my casting with some fine instruction. Thanks, maybe someday I'll fish there.

[@donfoley1590]

Very Good

[@josephdans5473]

Nice! I caught my first landlocked salmon the other day and he ran right at me too!

[@marklawyer5221]

Awesome

Hello. In NY salmon don’t take dries they only take nymphs and sacs. Should I get another line like Intouch salmon/steelhead for Atlantic salmon for my 3 wk vacation?

[@newflyfisher]

I don't think you need it if you have a good weight-forward flatline. You're right, it is hard to get the salmon to come to the surface on upstate NY rivers but I have had success with steelhead. Specifically, if you "wake" a wet fly across runs with a riffling hitch (as shown in the video), have caught numerous steelhead. Especially in October/November. Have fun!

Nothing beats a Hardy 'click check' fly reel for excitement. Hardy St John, Taupo Perfect, Marquis Salmon 1 are the best.

Beautiful Spot, would love to visit there, however as an Irish Atlantic Salmon Fisherman I have to say I never fished using Dry fly methods for Salmon.. we always cast at 45 degrees and Swim the fly just under the surface.. Salmon dont feed on flies like Trout.. you need to antagonise them to provoke their killer instinct..Would love to try those methods in Newfoundland,,,.. would also experiment with the Dry fly method..thanks for the video post.. hope to see you there sometime

[@newflyfisher]

Sincerely hope you get an opportunity to come fish Newfoundland for Atlantic Salmon, great fun to catch on a wet fly or dry fly. Lots of fish too!

What pound test for the leader

[@newflyfisher]

10lb is what we recommend

[@benhewins1164]

@@newflyfisher Do you commonly run a section of tippet off the leader, say 10X?

[@jacob_9426]

I love in York Harbour right bye there

[@hyoutdoors7054]

Well maybe if people thought to let a fish go once in a while for the last 10 generations we wouldn't be in a situation where "the time has come that we need to catch and release".

[@potatopilot_6784]

6 or 7lb for that first fish? lol

[@alexhale6062]

I want to start salmon fishing. Is there anything else I should know.

[@newflyfisher]

Alex, I think this is a good starting point. If you look in our Playlists, there is one dedicated to salmon fishing where you can obtain more info. Good luck and have a great season!

[@alexhale6062]

@@newflyfisher, thank you very much. I live in maine and I am lucky enough to live a quarter mile from the aroostook river dam. Hopefully, this will be the kickstart of a lifetime of learning.

Great video but trending towards light tackle. He's essentially catching big grilse at 4-7 lbs as opposed to the 25 lb+ salmon that the Eastern rivers can produce which is where a 9wt comes into its own.

[@newflyfisher]

agreed. we like to use seven weights for smaller salmon and heavier rods for bigger fish. however, in the fall we like the heavier rods as often we need to cast larger flies in heavy wind. thanks for feedback

[@fenkellmoney8034]

Are you throwing them back? 😩🤤🤤

[@newflyfisher]

yes indeed

[@garyanderson9535]

I’m a avid fisherman by the way.

[@Aestheticnerdlife]

Ok "the thumb is the strongest part of the body" is really just a terrible statement; if this were true the double overhand deadlift and pinch climbing grip wouldn't be the weakest respective ways to grip.

[@unstoppablegameplays]

Jesus Christ loves you❤

[@xrsuperduper7660]

How to catch salmon? Just bring yer fat wallet lol

[@andrewlordon8734]

All dead fish when you use cotton gloves to tail them. Jesus use a rubber net and a wet hand.

[@garyanderson9535]

News flash they’re endangered,,maybe we should leave them alone.

[@dean9261]

So are canadians but our immigration rate is still 3.5x our birth rate and noone cares

[@warrenc50]

That was about 4 1/2 not 6. People’s definition of big fish is a lot different then mine
