Third salmon in August whilst actually fishing for salmon !

#salmonfishing #seatroutfishing #flyfishing #fishing #wildfishing
So not that short a video, but maybe a better duration than most of my videos! This was from the 25th Aug 2023 and as Friday evening is my usual quick dash for an hours fishing, once the shopping has been collected and daughter dropped off, I decided to head for the river to aim to fish a couple of pools after good rain and a nice falling spate gave a chance of fish. I wasn't expecting much, but this time actually set up with my salmon gear and I was thrilled to catch another nice grilse, a day after catching the one in my last video. Although I must admit, when I first got the fish on, it didn't feel like a grilse at all....
If you watch the video I hope you enjoy it and thank you for doing so. If you want to leave a comment, feel free and I'll get back to you.
Tight lines!
Tackle | 8 weight rod with Cortland ghost tip fly line, 10lb straight maxima leader, approximately 10 ft
Fly used | Ally's shrimp

Well done, grabbing an hour and rewarded with a salmon while the water is still running off is the stuff of dteams.

Fantastic ! just got in from a spot of fly fishing. Manged a few Carp and Rudd... Salmon are thin on the ground in Kent. 😏
