Thanks for sharing your trip to the Ure. Its a tricky river - the best fly water is at the top of the system and it needs two or three good rises for the fish to get there in late summer or autumn. I have had a fresh - ish fish from Bolton in August before, so its not necessarily kipper bashing.
Nice chub Tim!!. Bad luck with the rod though, was it very old??, maybe Guideline could supply new bottom section(s). Nice river better luck next time,Cheers.
I was a good fight too, I was sure it was a salmon. I have started the process if warranty on the rod, it was two years old but it looks likensix days out of warranty. 🥲
There's a guy who has a blog about the beats on the Ure, he knows them like the back of his hand, think blog just one week, he has detailed guide to all the pools and how to fish them, well worth a read if you intend to fish there again. Gorgeous place to be and looked a perfect height to.
I have the Laxa switch rod in #8 and I love it. Great salmon rod o smaller streams and still enough " flex/nimbleness/softness" to fish for seatrout et .
Nice to see someone do a video of my local river. Definitely a spate river, u need water for it to fish. Fish don’t usually show on the Ure. Come and try during September/ October although there were fish high up in May not huge numbers but they were there I hooked on the blue lion late May and have caught in July and August with not huge rod effort from Bolton and the abbey. For Bolton hall bainbridge gauge 90-45cm, mid river kilgrim gauge 1m-60cm and for swinton Masham gauge 90cm-50cm. Tight lines 🎣
Hard to find anything remotely silver that far up the Ure. The river is i think the 6th Longest river in [UK] at around 125 miles - not sure if that distance includes the Humber estuary maybe add another 30 odd miles if not included ... And its pronounced Yore _ (ure) that far up the system we talking Kippa fishing, fish aint a million miles from spawning area, personally as a salmon fisher my self i think they should be left alone this far up the system esp on the Recovering Ure. Sea Trout are super thin on the Ure not many in the system ive only ever caught one in 44 years ! that looked like a brown to me...just saying

It looks a nice river. Might give it a go sometime in down that way

I'll check it out!
Nice video, i was considering a guideline laxa 12ft 6, maybe thinking of a different make, how did you break the rod? Chris
I was casting, it was on the upward stroke. It is a decent rod ans cast well but I have heard of other bow that have done the same

Probably had a bad Knock the rod hence Broken, most unusual to snap so low down
I caught a 2.5lb trout on a salmon fly yesterday I thought that was a salmon too =- just subbed
All kipper bashing up there at this time of year. Id try 50 mile downstream 5 months earlier if u want fresh uns.

The River Ure is pronounced ‘Yore’, not Urr
