Fishing and Hiking in Scotland
Добавлен 11 окт 2011
Hi, my name is Grahame, and I love the great outdoors of Scotland. Join me as I go fishing, hiking and generally adventuring out in this beautiful country.
I aim to use this channel to store memories of my experiences, as well as take it as an opportunity to share some of the magic of Scotland with anyone who has an interest.

Last cast on the local for the season
With me moving shortly, stress levels are high and time is short, so I took one last chance to get out on the local river, on Saturday 31st August.
Was really bright and breezy. Conditions weren't great. It was also really busy with other anglers, but I still managed to find the time to get a cast in and unwind.

Hiking the Loch Ordie Loop

I went hiking with my friend Stephen on Sunday, to do the Loch Ordie loop. It's a great loop, with lots of interest, and it's really cool to see all the signs of Beavers along the way
Loch Ossian and the Road to the Isles
Просмотров 865Месяц назад
Decided to get out and combine some fishing with a bit of a proper hike, as much to test my fitness as anything else. Tried fishing at Loch Ossian, with no success (but will definitely be back to try again), and then walked the Road to the Isles back to my car, parked at Rannoch Station
Back on the river Devon
Просмотров 419Месяц назад
A quick trip back to the the river Devon, my local river. Fished a different beat from my previous video. This beat is generally busier, but surprisingly, I've seen few videos online of it. Caught only 3 trout in the 2 hours or so I was there, but 2 of them were over 1lb, and caught within 10 minutes of each other, which made it all worthwhile!
Trout fishing on the River Earn
Просмотров 621Месяц назад
A mixed method session on the Castle Drummond beat of the River Earn. Fished for over 4 hours on the fly, and only had 2 small fish. When I switched to the lure, the action began. I'll definitely be wanting to fish it later in the season, when the Salmon are running
Back on the Spey, 30th June 2024
Просмотров 1272 месяца назад
I went back up onto the Spey, and found it really hard going on the fly. In 5 hours of fly fishing, I had 3 fish (only 1 on camera) I switched to the lure rod and landed 2 fish and lost 1 in just over an hour. There's clearly times when switching methods just makes sense!
River Almond 2nd June 2024
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.2 месяца назад
A trip to the River Almond at the start of June. I wasn't going to name the river I was fishing on, but with the chemical smell and known sewage issues, I figured it'd be good to highlight for awareness. I was fishing at the Almondell and Calderwood country park, and there's a sewage treatment plant just up from it. In future, I'll be spinning in that section, where I don't have to wade - or wi...
River Fillan, 4th May 2024
Просмотров 3254 месяца назад
Took a trip up to the river Fillan today, to try something a bit new. I knew it was going to be challenging, as literally everything I'd read said it's hard going when the water is low. Couple that with the slow start to the season, and I wasn't hopeful. Managed to get one beautiful trout on the lure, before switching to fly and not seeing any sign of a fish for the rest of the session. I'll de...
River Spey, Easter Sunday 2024
Просмотров 2975 месяцев назад
Decided to escape to the River Spey at Newtonmore, to avoid the worst of the Easter crowds. Was really tough going, when nothing seemed to work, then all of a sudden, had 20 minutes of action - caught 3, lost 1. Highly recommend fishing the Upper Spey if you're up that way
Spinning at Kinross Trout Fishery 29 12 23
Просмотров 3998 месяцев назад
I had originally planned to go fishing for Grayling on the rivers, but with the water levels so high, a switch to Kinross Trout Fishery seemed like a good call As the forecast was to be calm and bright, I chose spinning over fly fishing, and a good session was had - 7 fish in a 2hr session, with significantly more lost!
River Earn Grayling Fishing 17 11 2023

A wee video of my trip hunting for Grayling on the Castle Drummond beat of the River Earn, near Crieff. Terrible fishing on my part, really struggling with the indicator setup at first. Managed not to blank, though, so taking it as a win!

Haha thanks for the mention! Hard luck losing that fish, it looked like a better one. I was fishing there this weekend. Challenging fishing again and it was just as busy. Had great success at the bridge pool with both drys and nymphs. Right time and place I suppose. Good luck with the move✌️
Great looking trail man, I enjoyed this episode 👌👌
Fished loch ossian many times, always better to fish this loch with the fly. Full of 1/4 to 1/2 lb fish but fight well above their weight.
@@JimMorrison-x8u I plan on going back in the next few weeks - any recommendations on flies or location?
@@FishHikeScot I usually just used traditional patterns , although anything with a bit of sparkle worked well size 12 and 14's. Loch seems to fish better on the tree lined side
amazing video,as im going to that loch tomorrow!!
@@CameronThomson-fz4df I suspect fishing the other side of the loch from where I was (and the Youth Hostel is) will be more productive. Doesn’t look quite as shallow. I plan on going back in a few weeks and spending a whole day trying to get to grips with it Thanks for the positive feedback!
@@FishHikeScot yeah do you have an estimate on how long that would take from the hostel?
@@CameronThomson-fz4df the hostel is right on the lochside. To go to the other bank would only be a 10-15 min walk, and there’s good paths all the way round. If you had a whole day, you could walk and fish your way round the whole loch quite easily.
Hi mate great videos! Do you mind me asking the casting weight of your spinning rod?
@@patrickwelsh3228 hey there, The rod is a Savage Gear SG2 Micro Game, 7’. Casting weight is 1.5-5g
@@FishHikeScot I fish the same beat. My rod is a 10g-20g will look into getting a lighter rod thanks mate 👍🏻
@@patrickwelsh3228 so much fun on the light gear! Don’t think it’d end well if I’d hooked into a salmon, admittedly - but they weren’t the target (I do plan on going back later in the year with the 10-30g, a few tobies and flying C’s and the camera, though)
@@FishHikeScot I’m just back from Drummond was on the Toby all day and nothing. Water is very low at the moment unfortunately.
@@patrickwelsh3228 I spent the morning at Kinross today - for this weekend only, they’re letting you spin on the smallest of their fly ponds (single hook, barbless, only) Had 7, 2 of which were over 5lb, all on little spoons and mepps.
Enjoyed the video plenty sport what type of lures do you use.
@@alexking9573 thanks! For this trip, I was using Savage Gear Sticklebait Twitch lures, which I’ve found to be really effective for trout, particularly in the 4.5cm size. I do swap out the treble hooks for inline singles, though (and on the Earn, take off the front hook)
What part of the river is this never fished the devon would like to give it a go cheers
@@scottmeikle5117 to be honest, there’s loads of spot on the river that are good Dunning Glen can be good, but has issues with campers Fossoway is nice and open, and good for fly fishing Vicars Bridge is popular with loads of people. Tough for fly fishing, with overhanging trees, but good for bait and spin There’s a couple of bits between Dollar and Tillicoultry that can be particularly good… lots of deep pools and nice runs. It’s a great river to explore! And at £20 for a season, a total bargain!
@@FishHikeScot thats cheap 20 for the season whats the bit like next to castlehill reservior past it the other day when a was driving though dont no the area to well and no sure of parking places
@@scottmeikle5117 so… just down from Castlehill reservoir is Dunning Glen. Can be good fishing there, with plenty of smaller fish, but it is prone to people camping and leaving a mess, sadly. Upstream from Castlehill reservoir isn’t on the permit. Pretty sure you can fish it for free, but don’t think there’s much to write home about
Theres parking area on the right just after the wee bridge a metal gate on the left with a sign witch says fishing by permit only on it might get a day ticket and give it ago some time
Fantastic, really enjoyed that 😊 Amazing scenery too 👌
I'm glad you liked it, thanks! Yeah, it really is beautiful up in the Cairngorms. I'm hoping to spend a fair bit of time on the upper Spey this year, but also hoping to get a few casts on remote hill lochs and streams, in the middle of nowhere
I'm a Crieff angling club member....just away to put my waders on now actually. Its a great stretch for £120 a season which includes the grayling fishing. Looks like ye got that one at the tail of the Bakers...great spot for the salmon. Let me know when yer coming up again and if ye want I can show ye a nice few spots.
Ooh, I might just do that - though not sure how much opportunity there will be before the 15th, when it closes to non-members. River level still over 1m on the Crieff gauge right now, sadly.
Hi, enjoyed video where did you get permit?
Hey, Sorry, for some reason, I wasn’t notified of the comment coming through. You can get permits from a number of outlets (though they’ll not be available now until March next year) - this link will take you to the permit page, with the list of retailers: devonanglingassociation.org.uk/permits/ At £20 for the season (for Trout only), it’s an absolute bargain
Hi Grahame......What app / camera are you using to get all the info on screen (Speed, Map and Heart Rate) ? Cheers
Andy McLean hey - it's the software that came with the Garmin Virb. Was the selling point over the likes of a GoPro.
Nice one Grahame...Cheers !!
..Looks great mate hope you had an enjoyable ride............!!
