I've fished the Tweed for 40 years and if the powers that be can't see the plague of goosanders that are eating their weight in fish every week which is a major factor to the detriment of all the fish in the river then there is something wrong. The trout fishing on the tweed is a fraction of what it used to be as well. Habitat alone will not bring back the salmon or trout eaten by these birds. Tree planting won't stop fish eating birds. Wake up fish eating birds need controlled as well these are an invasive species not native to UK.

An interesting and enjoyable film that raises a rallying cry that the politicians must hear and act on positively and strongly.

The elitist nature of salmon fishing in Scotland doesn't help. Lots more public free access water would help. In Michigan, I can float or wade every stream or river in the state.

Very well put together brilliant commendable hope the Scottish government take note and do more 👍

Most of the most prolific beats are out of price ranges of your ordinary working man hence angler's travelling from all over the world to fish them and usually wealthy land owners owning them looking for government money and volunteers to keep there fishing business viable maybe if these were more accessible to general public for fishing instead of dead man's shoes more of general public would care and know about the Atlantic salmon decline more inclusive in my view would be more help

Thank you for the shout mate… good work this season 💪💪💪🎣🎣🎣

Good video, covering difficult topics. The one thing that absolutely confounds me is how many salmon anglers jump on planes multiple times a year creating huge carbon footprints when we know a warming climate and water is taking its toll not just on our salmon population. Ive decided to fish the best beats in the UK rather than chasing silver overseas.

Great video tam have seen salmon fishing at its best when you could walk across them in the rivers 20 .30 40 years ago you would take action against predators that were causing problems on the rivers now you can't say boo to them without people reporting you and these people have no idea about wildlife and how to manage it we.kept diaries of catches back then and salmon would go on a 5 to 6 year cycle you would have a great season then next would be not as good and so on then bang back to normal

An excellent, very informative video.

it’s a Guideline NT8 rod‼️

Awesome fishing Tam. What flee were you using? Thanks

Excellent exhibition in sympathetic handling of the fish giving them the very best chance of quick recovery. Well done.

Is the Salmon season over

Great video and fishing, congratulations and well deserved! YOu might want to use the 'deja vu' function on the GoPro to avoid missing any takes. Thanks for producing and sharing!

Awesome video, congrats to the nice fishes 👍👊

Great video, again 👍Congratz on the triple 🙂When does the season end where you fish?

Great days fishing well done. Glad you got the take of that last fish on film. Something special about seeing the line tighten up 🎣🐟 Also great handling of the fish which is nice to see.

Gwan mate , also oil slick forceps 😁

Well done Tom thanks for sharing 👍

Hi Tam what rod do you use and what make of line please

Amazing Tam! Brilliant video buddy!! 👏🎣🎣🤘🏻

Are you scared of saying that you are stripping the line/fly? ;) LOL To strip can be very effective for salmon at times and I am shocked by how many that never do it. And way to many that do it, are to monotone and do it the same all the time. Variety is the keyword for stripping. And don't think that stripping is only for when there is little water and the river is moving slowly. Way to many are stuck in their ways and old "truths". The ones willing to think outside the box are usually the ones that have the most success. Tight lines!

Well done mate 💪

Fishing for spawning fish . Should be stopped end of September ..

Congratulations on the hat-trick Tam

What beat was that if not mind me asking ? What a day you had. Fishing etterick on Saturday so here is hoping the rain picks things up

Great fishing!!! It is also VERY nice to see how you handle the fish, by netting it and releasing it quickly. That is how catch and release should be done. To bring the fish up on land by "beaching" it can VERY easily damage shells and the slime coat. This can happen with the wrong netting in the landing net as well. And if that damage happens, the risk of the fish dying is high to very high. It is worse in the summer with higher water temperatures, but should be considered all the time. Way to many handle the fish for way to long to take all sorts of pictures and videos as well and that results in more stress and higher risks of damaging the fish. I really hope people can learn from you how to do catch and release the good way. I live and fish in Norway and our season ended a long time ago, so I have to wait for next season. I prefer to fish for seatrout with a one hand rod, but I am never unhappy when a salmon decides to take my fly 😁 I do flyfish for seatrout in the sea as well and if I am lucky with the weather, I might still have a couple of fishing days left this year. And if not, then I need to wait for a few months till I can start to fish for them in the sea in the spring. Hopefully there will be an early and warm spring next year. I wish you the best and tight lines!

Congratulations, what a brilliant day for you

Hi pal, I seen your van in Chirnside!! That’s where I stay, I’m a plasterer too and a keen fisherman, you should try the whiteadder sometime

A red letter day Tam

Well done Tam. That is a good days fishing.

👍

Music to the ears👍

River tweed near Gala?

Whitch shooting head?

What a beauty

What line do you use it doesn’t half go out well

This looks like one of my favourite spots on the Ettrick

Snake roll 👍 great cast for a downstream wind

Great stuff Tam, really enjoyed that man 🤘🏻 Would like to visit this place in the future!!

I really enjoy your videos Tam. I'm still trying to work out your home accent although it is mixed with a little borrrders. Where are you from Tam?

350 quid a day for prime time fishing for dark fish ,is not in my opinion " value for money ".

Looks like a great beat Tam. Will need to visit one day. 👍

Great video again. Better luck next time 👍👊

Hi Tam,looks sublime! I'm watching the water level closely as heading up to Holylee and Fairnlee in two weeks. The Guilee's set up was really nice, especially the classic Cascapedia, really nice. Do you know what the running line was? I've got a Rio shooting head but can't seem to find a nice running line to match it without it being too thin?

What was the make of rod you were using?

Love your videos Tam, likewise also keen mountain biker so love your other videos too, I have been fly fishing for 40 odd years, mostly for Browns and Grayling via euro nymphing, but this past while I have been going for salmon, I have caught salmon,grilse and sea trout when euro nymphing , but never when I have been trying to catch them, but going by your 200 hours.. I may still have another 100 hours before I get one 😂 great videos

Great video Tam. The joys of salmon fishing you win some and you lose some. Tight lines for the next trip

Greetings from Norway. Just finished watching all your videos 😅Enjoyed them a lot 😀

Brilliant fishing there buddy! New subscriber here
