Another great video Chris, some amazing looking water there, never fished Stobhall, thinking of booking something now for March. Thanks for taking the time to produce & share.
Good video once more, thanks for the heads up on the running line you got from AA got mine last week, I've still not got a fish yet ,but working on it ,tight lines, Alan
Another belter Chris! They say the salmon is a fish of 10,000 casts, well, I've counted every cast since your last fish and you're at 19,703 so that next one is coming soon. Keep the faith, tight lines 🤣👍
I fished that exact pool about 15 years ago. Caught sod all, but I would have happily paid the asking price just to be there. My old fishing buddy and I would stop by the Tay whenever we could, just to watch it go past. I will be fishing the Dunkeld stretch for trout once the spring comes.
That looks like a lovely bit of water to fish. I've booked a boat on the Findhorn through Atholl Sporting they seamed very easy to deal with. Hope we both get some silver soon.
Occasionally I used to enjoy a pint in a local pub which had the original cast of a 50lb fish caught by a Major Frank Pullar. From the Upper Eel Brig Pool in, if my memory serves me right, 1922.
Hi Chris, could I ask a quick filming question re the gopro? I was wondering do you keep the wingslayer sponge on permanently or judge it by the conditions? Many thanks.
what stunning beat. and enviroment. i am so envius. regarding your reel. it seems to me that you didnt have it serviced from last season. i belive i picked up the sound of a bad needle bearing then. and it have been persisten ever since. and it may have been the cause of your issue with the "bird`s nest". it would be a nigthmare if you had a fish on, and that happened. the needle bearing is a easy change. so if that is the issue, then its a easy fix. but your talking about getting another reel. and i agree. go for a higher qualety one. its typical of trout fishermen to look at the reel and just say that its only for holding line. for salmon fishing that saying dont hold true. so my sugestion is to get a new reel. reapair the current one and have it as a spare. keep backing on tough. your talking with the ghilly about fishing in norway. if you decide to realize that tougth. i have a few suggestion for you.
Thanks for taking the time for such an indepth response going to the tackle shop nearby tomorrow to have a look. Fortunately my friend Russ has leant me a reel for the time being 👍 would be great to connect over the Norway trip idea. Likewise, when you visit in 2024 👍

Ah cheers for that
Very nice video and I like your salmon fishing philosophy - enjoy the fishing and fly casting and if you get a fish that's an absolute bonus!
Thanks Philip 👍
Well done! If you go to Sweden, take a quick stop in Falkenberg on the West coast and take a day in river Ätran.

Best of luck for the trout season Chris. Your new rod will be your lightsaber 😃👍
@@CornishChrisTheFish Aye, the farce is definitely with me.

I have found Atholl Sporting to be very helpful too. Tight lines mate 👍

Major Pullar ?! an apt name for a fisherman 😂

Yes I do! I find it's really good at extending the battery life during really cold weather.
