Three SALMON From A Small IRISH RIVER To End The Season

A day full of action catching three grilse between us and missing a few others during a dropping flood on a small Irish spate river. A great end to a terrible salmon season!
As you can see, these fish put up a good fight on the light switch rod fishing small shrimp flies.
A salmon season most of us will be glad to see the end of but here is hoping it was just a blip and next year we see more action on the rivers and loughs.
Hope you like it 👍

[@AndrewMcGall]

Well done Sean 👏🎣.. I remember a friend catching a lovely 5lb bar of July silver in that first pool.. must be 21-22yrs ago now and I still remember it. Great wee river 😊👍👍

[@SeánWoodsFishing]

A river I know you're fond of 👍. It's funny how fishermen remember such details, like how a pool looks 20+ years ago and can't remember every day stuff 🤣

[@AndrewMcGall]

@@SeánWoodsFishing you said it.. I also remember that day as I just after my friend caught the fish I broke my rod.. a double whammy I think it’s called lol. Memories is what it’s all about 😊🎣👍

[@moeshields7493]

Good stuff.tight lines

Hope you enjoyed it Moe 👍

I had 8 salmon off that stretch fishing a falling spate one September, probably about 15 years ago and nowadays ya'd be lucky to get 8 in a season.

[@SeánWoodsFishing]

That's some fishing Mark! Really worrying how salmon have dropped off a cliff edge, more so than ever this year 😔

[@stiofain4693]

Hard work them trees Sean, I catch more branches than salmon 😄 Great video

[@SeánWoodsFishing]

Thanks Stiofain, hard on the waders and flies but all is forgiven when a fish takes 👍

[@markhalpin995]

Lovely video class day fishing question what the two best flies you would use at that time of year hope you don’t mind me asking thanks mark

[@SeánWoodsFishing]

Offcourse not Mark. Flies are really down to personal choice but I usually always fish a long tail shrimp on the point and a Irish shrimp on the dropper. I would be lost without the Calvin Shrimp and then usually a foxford shrimp or bann special on the dropper. This day the fish took the Calvin and a McCormicks shrimp 👍 pink, clarets, reds and orange all seem to fish well in late season

River starts with E? Beautiful spot.

[@SeánWoodsFishing]

A great wee spot indeed 👌

[@moeshields7493]

Never good to leave a killer in the bushes lad.toght lines 2024

[@SeánWoodsFishing]

I'd say there is more flies in the bushes than stones on the river bed on that river 🤣 tight lines also Moe, hope it's a good one 🤞

[@moeshields7493]

🤣🤣🤣😂😎tight lines lad

[@billytheghillie]

Well done Sean, crakin wee river there, what rod length and make, also fly line.

[@SeánWoodsFishing]

Cheers Billy. It's a shakespeare oracle 11ft switch and a snowbee classic switch line 👍

[@billytheghillie]

Thanks Sean, it throws a mean line for such a budget outfit, may need to rob the piggy bank next season.@@SeánWoodsFishing

[@SeánWoodsFishing]

@@billytheghillie I have the oracle switch, 2 scandis and one Stillwater. As well as an old XPS. All used for salmon. Shakespeare do great rods and then you can spend the change on permits 🤣
