A nice wee juicy dry fly might, just might have done the business. They were certainly coming up, and the switch you were using would have been ideal for the job. Small and light can be a good option in these conditions ....my tactic but with fishing it's trial and error, which you know only too well Iain I'm sure. Always enjoy your outings and vids 😎🍺
I have gone as low as 16,s Mr Mazo without much success (Well maybe a little ). only need to get around to editing more trips and stop going fishing 😉. Cheers Iain. 🥃
I have fished a few time since this video Christopher and some of the rivers have far greater numbers of salmon in them than they have had for a long time . It's just getting a hook to stick is the problem Cheers Iain.🥃
Looks lovely and fishy Iain... there seemed to be a few about as well... they are just being Salmon... fickle! 🤣 my son and I have managed to winkle a few out in July on tiny flies, but August is always a tough month... Tight lines for your next outing. Cheers James 🥃
This year there seems to be more salmon about James but they seem to be more difficult to catch . I think the ones that I have managed to hook have had problems holding onto the fly Cheers Iain. 🥃
Great video as always Iain, unlucky as water looked great.....just one of this days where fish are not 'switched on' unfortunately. Lovely bit of water, never fished the Ericht.
It is worth the trip. when I was fishing there were a few local anglers and they seemed happy to point out the best bits . I think that a lot of the fish had moved up from Islamouth and had seen everything Cheers Iain. 🥃
I would recommend having a cast or two If you phone Kate Fleming,s in Blairgowrie You will find Paul is very helpful and point you in the right direction Cheers Iain. 🥃
I am on the upper beat of the Blairgowrie and Rattray angling association David. This is the first year I have fished on both the upper and lower beats. I have been meaning to fish it for a few years but only got around to it , I will definitely try get back. Cheers Iain. 🥃
Hi Alan I am using the Salmon number 2 you are pretty observant A lot of guys will think that I am still on the J W Young but I have changed for the switch rod Cheers Iain. 🥃
They definitely back up at Islamouth I wasn't sure if the fish had just arrived and never settled or if they were residents it was a lot of fun trying to entice them Cheers Iain. 🥃
It has been a bit like that this year James. we have had rain but never enough to keep the rivers at a good hight . Got to look forward and hopefully the weather forecasters will get it right soon Cheers Iain. 🥃

Cheers Iain. 🥃
Nice video Iain, at least something gave you a pull on the line.
I had a good day at the Ericht Burnie I have had a few trips since then and hopefully I can show a few more fish pull on the line Cheers Iain. 🥃
@@IainSB I was trout fishing the upper B&R club water last Friday, no luck with the water up a bit, thought I might have bumped into you.
how best trip! so long. :)
I have looked at your videos they are very good and show of the landscape well done Cheers Iain 🥃
Must give that river a shot before end of season
I would recommend having a cast or two If you phone Kate Fleming,s in Blairgowrie You will find Paul is very helpful and point you in the right direction Cheers Iain. 🥃
What beat are you on Ian, if you don't mind me asking?.
I am on the upper beat of the Blairgowrie and Rattray angling association David. This is the first year I have fished on both the upper and lower beats. I have been meaning to fish it for a few years but only got around to it , I will definitely try get back.
Cheers Iain. 🥃
